hi. for years now since i stupidly opened a virus email i have had between 5 and 10 phishing or virus emails a day, which i delete from my spam folder. its driving me absolutely mental, and im thinking about changing my email address but i have a few questions (i have already spoken to yahoo about this problem but they cant help and my email address comes up in google searches!!)
1) i need the email account to be compatible with yahoo messenger. is it only yahoo i can use?
2) is there an easy way or will i have to email everyone and notify change of email, i cant even remember who has my email!!, such as mailing lists or important sites (for instance sites that i buy things off and have accounts with)
3) if im registered on all the forums with my current email ill have to change all that too!
4)if i keep getting virus emails to my old account but dont send messages, will it be closed down eventually or will i keep having to check 2 accounts?
please help, any advice would be appreciated as its getting to the urgent stage now, cheers too many people know my current email address.

Get onto you email provider and delete that account whoever emails
that account will get bounced then they will know its been closed.
If its with Yahoo you can close your own email account.
