Does anybody know a good program to block spam email from showing up in my inbox? I get all sorts of stupid emails that I do not want. I have tried the demo versions of some spam email blockers but they did not work very well. Know of any programs?

Yes!

One answer is to get ThunderBird which is an e-mail program that can serve as a replacement for Outlook and has a built in spam blocker. (It is make by the same people that make FireFox which is a web broser that a lot of people here have, and since geting it I have not had one popup). Both of these programs are free. The way it works is that once you have labled something as spam it automaticly send it to a folder called junk. I canged the settings so the way I have it is it sends spam to the Trash and this get empited when I exit ThunderBird.
