How do I get a block on unwanted emails. I have been
getting filthy mail. I have tried to email them and tell
them to stop and they are not I do not understand how I
got them to begin with.
 
Are you using Microsoft Outlook?
If so then go to Toos> Rules Wizard>Select move message
from someone option and go through rest of the wizard. I
haven't had a chance to do for my self but we had done in
my company. You should be able to move all those emails
to Deleted Items.
 
This will work ok, however, most companys that send spam use many, many email addresses so it is virtually impossible to set up enough rules to prevent unwanted email. My advice is to get an email filter which will be able to filter emails based on their doman (domain is everything after the "@" symbol). Then you will be able to choose to automatically delete emails which have an offensive domain name. You can also set your filter to delete emails based on content, such as all emails containing the words sex, penis, etc. It is a rather time-consuming process, but once you get it all fine-tuned, you should be able to avoid most spam.

.
Other posters told you how to block these but I would
like to add two more things. NEVER respond to these
e/mails all that does is tell the scum that this is a
valid address! which thay will sell and you will recieve
more and more!
Also I noticed that you posted your e/mail address here
BEWARE!!! You will now get more, many will claim to be
from Microsoft,"they are not" They contain viruses delete
them at once and DO NOT open the attachments,Update your
virus scanner now. These e/mails will stop coming in two
to three weeks you'll just have to ride it out.
Good Luck
