I found that recently, I have received a lot spam emails from many people that I don't know and never give my email addrss to. It seems that whenever I visit a website, somebody can get my email address. How could this happen and can I avoid this happens in the future?

If you are using Yahoo Email then they have a great feature called "Disposable Address". Whenever you give out your address to anyone you don't want email from use it. Then, when you get spam you can see where it is coming from and delete that "disposable address."
It's under "options" "address guard."
Good Luck

welcome to my world - i have 2 yahoo accounts (shorter one & a longer one). the moral of the story - shorter one seems to get almost around 400 junk emails a day. the longer email less than 2-3 per week.
so i would say your junk mail problem is has nothing to do with you visiting any site (I am assuming you are not typing in your email anyplace), it is just these spammers sending arbitary emails.
