My husband uses the internet & E-mail a lot & I'm wondering if we get these E-mails because he may be looking up things I don't know about.

It sounds like he entered his e-mail address on the wrong site.
One word -- Spyware

Several users get these e-mails nowadays and the worst of it, these mails come from different ID's so blocking one doesn't have much impact. Just delete them.
I have found more information at http://tinyurl.com/nnv9f on how email works and how to troubleshoot email related problems.

Is a very good possibility.
Most porn sites won't email unless u signed up somewhere.
Run an anti virus program AND an anti spyware/adware program.
If someone is downloading or searching porn your computer can easily become infected with spyware like programs and even pick up a porn dialer (dials long distane numbers or 900 numbers with out your concent, resulting in high phone bills).

He's not necessarily looking up things that you don't know about. I get at least 30 of those e-mails every day. I have no idea why. I just don't open any of them. It's easy to delete them, so I do.

no they can get you if you are looking BUT they can also send it out because these freakin' sites like google and yahoo sell off info just like every other place you do business with...maybe not the exact name and address but enough so those sleezebag operators know if your male/female -how old--income status--etc. Privacy is a thing of the past!

I'm sure that's it. Would it bother you if he was wanking to porn?
