The email has info about a stock market item, saying to buy now b/c the price will go up. But underneath it has a bunch of unrelated words. Some of which look like words i have seen before while surfing the web…..
How do I get rid of this spam email?

report the email to the spam patrols, and put a filter in your email account to block out offensive and sexual words. You can also block the domain from which the spam email came. Hopefully you won’t have to see on those again.
Oh, and never give your real email when signing up for things, create a spam email account to use for things like that. You will drastically cut down on the amount of spam you receive.

If you do not have a REPORT SPAM thing, then you will have to get one. There are products like SPAM SUBTRACT and such. Visit and search for SPAM. Then LOOK at the ratings. (You did not mention if you are using Outlook or Outlook Express, so get the one that you need for that). This one is FREE – Spamfighter 4.7.4
- DELETE this SPAM without opening it.
- Never REPLY to SPAM
- Never BUY from SPAM, which would make this form of advertising profitable

The only thing that really works are filters that use databases on the internet. You can try all day to block them yourself, but the guys who send them adapt to keyword filters and they don’t use the same from headers so that is not easy.
Reporting them works a little if they realize that you are the reporter. But they move around enough and use hijacked machines enough that they don’t worry about it.
I have had good luck with this one…
but there are others and you usually need to change the settings so that it works best for the way you use email.
