Alaska Darin Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 My ISP offers a blocker for 12.95 a year. It gets literally 99.9% of the SPAM that's targeted to my address. If your ISP doesn't have that offering, go out to Webroot.com and get Spamshredder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
