Spam Blockers

[Eileen and Bill Mosuch]

Does microsoft offer any type of spam blocker. We are
receiving trash emails that we do not want to see on our
computer. The worst is the porn. We want to block this
out and are not sure how to do it. Can you help us?

I don't think Microsoft has any offerings (except maybe with the latest
version of their Outlook program, but that's not worth the money, in my
opinion).

My recommendation would be to use a recent version of Mozilla's mail client:

http://www.mozilla.org/

Mozilla is a web browser and mail and news reader suite that includes a
Bayesian adaptive spam filter: Basically, you tell Mozilla which
messages you consider spam as they come in and, as time progresses,
Mozilla gets better and better at filtering your mail for you. It works
pretty well for me, at any rate.

I'd recommend downloading Mozilla 1.5 (as opposed to any of the beta
Mozilla products, such as Mozilla 1.6b or Thunderbird). Mozilla's web
browser component also does pop-up blocking, as an added bonus, if you
choose to use it.

An installation and getting started guide is available here:

You can have a Bayesian filter together with blacklists, whitelists
etc. if you use free SpamPal with a Bayesian filter
