3. Keep telling your wife that.
Maybe she will belive you, if you repeat it enough. It works for busholini inc.

4. I am a contributor, so I think I gave my e-mail address to the same
place you did. I am not receiving any more spam than I did before.

You know advertisers & others can plant spyware on your pc just when you are clicking throughout the internet generally. It sounds like that's what happened.

You can clear your temp internet files, and delete all your cookies, and I think that will get rid of most of it. I ALSO have a free version of SpyBot, which cleans spyware out of your pc. It's easy and safe. You can google SpyBot and download the free version.

6. if you use Eudora as an email program
get Spamnix as an add-on spam filter. It is *very* effective.
