Spam

[Beverly]

Over the past few days, my spam blocker seems to have taken a holiday :confused: I'm getting up to 20 spams a day when I used to get none. Is this happening to anyone else? Telus is my ISP.

I'm with Telus and I think they have been on vacation the last 2 weeks Friday I deleted 26 spam that came through everyday for 2 weeks 5-10 spam and viruses :bad-word:

[Dabbler]

yup same here my spam is comming through and it started all of a sudden

I am also with telus

You know, that's funny, because my hotmail account has been relatively spam free for the last year or so until just last week. BAAAAAAAAAAAAM, 5-10 a day.

My telus account has this one spammer and it's driving me up the wall. Is there some sort of legal action that I can take against this guy? I've requested several times to be removed from his mailing list and also clicked on the link provided in the spam to do so to no avail (link doesn't even work).

Never click on the link for removal. All that does is confirm your email and brings you more spam.

IU get a few a day, but the thing that is bothering me is this adware virus I have on my computer right now. My anti virus (Norton Anti Virus) program is not deleting it. :mad:

Have you tried Ad-Aware, or some similar program. :question:

We use Spy-Ware that is very effect at detecting and eliminating viruses.

Unfortunately there are numerous malware that are not detected by Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware or any of the other large spyware removal tools. To really be clean you need to be checking for browser helper objects (try BHODemon), unwanted processes (through Task Manager or a more advanced replacement) and of course startup registry keys (a quick way to do this is by Start > Run > "msconfig" and checking the Startup tab... and then Googling each of those .EXEs to find out what they are).

Noticed the other day that my spam has dramatically decreased :biggrin: Telus must have upgraded their spam filters.
