An AV program will not remove Spam email if that is what it is. If you are receiving it in your Bulk Folder then follow the instructions below.
Fighting Back
Con artists are clever and cunning, constantly hatching new variations on age-old scams. Still, skeptical consumers can spot questionable or unsavory promotions in email offers. Should you receive an email that you think may be fraudulent, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov, hit delete, and smile. You'll be doing your part to help put a scam artist out of work.
You can also go here and report it to the FBI.
http://www.ic3.gov/
If that site is too complicated the report it to this FBI Site
https://tips.fbi.gov/
Open the header of the email to full header. Copy the entire email including the full header and then paste it into the message box at this site.

1) Stop opening junk email (a.k.a. SPAM). When you open it you often trigger a hidden code that informs the sender that you have opened their spam, which means they can sell your address to other spammers.
2) Set your filter preferences to send any mail from "blacksingles.com" or with "black singles" in the subject line to your trash folder.
3) Your antivirus won't delete it because it's not a virus, it's spam.
4) Never, EVER, click on the link that says "unsubscribe me", it will only result in you getting much more spam than before.

You can empty completely your bulk mail folder. You can also put an individual block on the addresses of this group along with a general block for their domain. I am sure your email has instructions as to this.

There are a couple of things you can do.
At the bottom of the email there should be an opt out feature, by law. Click it and choose to be removed from the mailing list.
Or
You can block their address. When your in your home mail page at the top right you will see a link that says options, click it, then click block addresses, then add their address to the list.

open the email and then click on the spam button, this should put them on 'ignore' but it really doesn't matter cuz its just going to your bulk mail which is mainly catches 'junk' but gives you the opportunity to move it to your e-mail folder in case its not junk
P.S. a lot of those 'unsubscribe' buttons at the bottom of junk mail are used to see if you respond. this tells spammers that the e-mail address is active and being used, then ur e-mail is sold to more spammers

Login to your yahoo account.
Look at the top right corner of the window. You will see "options" written. click on it. (options > mail options), click OK to confirm, in Ymail Beta.
A separate Mail options window will open.
There you will see Block Addresses written. Click on it.
In the next window that opens , you will see this
Add Block
Enter email address (or domain) to block
click on the button named add block.
The address should appear in the box below.
That's it. You will no more receive any mail , from that site which you have added to your blocked addresses list.
You can also remove any site later on if you want from the list, if you want to receive mails from them.

If it is in your bulk mail, don't open the mail. You may also be able to "unsubscribe" from it by opening the mail, then down at the bottom of the email message (in fine print) there should be a link to unsubscribe from the email. There is usually one on most emails.

Can you mark it as spam for automatic deletion? Many email programs can do that, or you could set up a filter to send it to the trash.
