Is anyone else being hit with a TON of e-mail SPAM?

Yes, like everybody else I got my fair share. However, during the last week, it's gone up to triple what I used to get.

It makes me wonder that I've really pissed someone off and they've sent my e-mail to the SPAMming people.

I know Chaser mentioned getting e-mail viruses. I get a few now and then, no increase there, but SPAM overload.

Types I'm getting: Credit Cards, Refinancing, Auto Loans, Dating Services, and so on.

I've noticed the same thing this week. Add to the list the cheap meds spam too, lol.

Just move everything you think is junk into the Block Senders List in the Junk E-mail folder. You can adjust to the max the blocking options and it will remember/block/auto-delete the juck e-mail addresses next time they try to send.

Oppss, I'm assuming here that you're using MS Outlook.

Ok. Yes, I'm also getting "Cheap Presciption Medicine" Spam too.

We've noticed spam mail (not necessarily virus... just junk mail) increasing almost 4 or 5 times the amount in the past few weeks.

I've run Ad-Aware 6 to try and delete the hidden cookies that pull these messages towards you, but I can't be assured that Ad-Aware isn't adding to the situation.
