Solved: General Question?
Even with updated and complete Norton anti-virus software and SPYZOKA installed on my XP operating system, I find a daily ever-increasing number of e-mails for sexual issues,cheap drugs etc. I know it is impossible to eliminate receiving this type of e-mail and attachments entirely and I never,never open anything from anyone I don't personally know, but is there anything I can do to eliminate or downside the increasing volume?

In tools, there is an e-mail blocking tag but you would spend hours every day typing in e-mail addresses to be blocked! At one time someone told me that a way to block e-mails was a tag that allowed you to put in key words i.e. penis, viagra etc. and any e-mail with key words in the title would be automatically deleated?

Can you identify and mark the only e-mail addresses that you will accept and anything other will be deleated? It's restrictive but the vast majority of friends/businesses etc. I accept e-mails from are already on my personal mailing list.

Comments and/or suggestions please?

Thank you, Tom

Golferbob: Thanks again for your answer. Spamihilator.com is unbelievable. I've been paying for and using Spam eliminators for several years and have never found anything as good and as complete as this product!

It takes a little time to set it up correctly as you indicated but what a result!!!
