    What is the best way of getting rid of these unwanted e-mails ( I too get dozens a day offering viagra and other stuff ). I delete them immediately but it is annoying everytime I check my e-mails to see dozens of rubbish ones. click up. Or is there no way to get rid of them. They seem to be multiplying daily.

    If you have been caught in a scam and now find you are getting all the Viagra and ePharmacies etc etc sent to your e-mail address, then you can make up a filter on your e-mail, mark it up in the options area, all the words that are coming up, ie Viagra, Medicines and ask it to filter these message straight into the trash bin, then you won't have to see it.

    But just remember, if you are going tosend details, have a fall back e-mail address to give as your e-mail address and get them to send their e-mail there. If it turns out that they are a genuine site, then they will give you the chance to change your details so if you are happy then change your e-mail address.

    Please read you help pages of your browser and enter the word "Filter" and thenwhen it comes up go for "Setting up" and follow the instructions to make it work.

    the final word is "If in doubt, don't do it!"
