I get about 50 spam emails a day on my Microsoft Outlook. I'm sick of it. Is there anything program I can download for free or at a very low cost to stop this intrusion. I cannot just block the sender for spam because they change the email address and send me more. Please help!

You cannot effectively "block" spam. You have to filter it and even the best filtering programs will potentially send valid emails away from your mailbox. Check with your ISP. AT&T/Yahoo offer a nice software bundle for free with their service.
BTW: I get 350 spam mails a day...

People spam because it works and no one does anything about it.
There is a simple solution:
Everytime you get spam, do a search for the company or stock mentioned. EMAIL them with the spam as an attachment. Mention the subject: Spam with YOUR name used (put name of stock or company in this space)
In the body, offer to help in any criminal or legal action against the spammer and mention that you are forwarding a copy to the proper authorities (do so if you can find them).
If we all do this, a lot of companies are going to be irritated at the bad publicity generated by this, and will do something to stop the spammer involved.
Who's with me?
