how to protect pc from spam?

Answer 1

I have a legal and moral obligation to keep my pc 100% clean. And I use an antivirus/spyware program out of Beijing, China.

http://www.filseclab.com -- This program has kept me 100% clean for the past nine years.

Twister Anti-Trojan Virus is absolute state of the art technology that has a real time scanner

that really works. Will scan your memory on start up and continues to run in the background

while you use your pc. Plus this software uses very little CPU resources.

Some examples of how great this program is. If you open a webpage and there is a virus or

spyware embedded in the webpage the scanner will catch the virus in a second and clean.

If you download any type of file including music or a zip file and there is hidden embedded

virus in the file the download will stop and the Twister will clean and stop the download.

I had an experience where the software I download the company used another installer other

then their own. The installer had hidden embedded virus in the installer program.Twister

found it and cleaned, plus ended the installation and traced it back to the installer software.

(I wrote the original software company and they now use their own installer).

What is really great is that you only pay a small one time fee for life. You will get frequent

large signature updates,excellent support and they never charge you for any new versions.

There are many other features as auto downloads, and the ability to fix all type of problems with your registry or windows.

The chinese don't believe in the annual fee or paying of new versions like most of the other software companies want to be paid over and over for the original purchase.

I use Zone Alarm free firewall (http://www.zonealarm.com). As a backup even though I have ADSL.I use ewido antispyware / malware. www.grisoft.com --Ewido was purchased by AVG. Ewido is free and will protect you from rogue dialers.

I suggest using Online Armor.You can search it on Yahoo! or Google.I also suggest using McAfee Site Advisor,it has information about the websites that you go.

For safe browsing,you can use Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6 which is available at http://www.mozilla.com/

Don't use Super Anti Spyware,it has spyware in it.

Answer 2

Make sure that you're spam blocker is turned on (I know Yahoo mail has this feature) it will send suspected spam e-mail to a seperate folder. From there, you can mark it as Spam and delete it. See if your ISP (internet service provider) has spam blockers. And if not, there are all kinds of spam blockers available to down load for free.

Answer 3

install Mcafee Site Advisor

Answer 4

Use anti spam software.
