Is there anywhere in the world where you won't be subjected to some shitty spam message. Home, Hotmail, Uni Mail, Blog Comments, This site, Even my mobile phone has been bombarded with pish:

"I'm divorced, randy and nearby. I'll try anything. Reply if ur up 4 it and i'll be in touch"

"I'm a horny nymph in your area, my husband's away all week"

Being my favourite two.

I never give out my phone number when ordering anything online because of this. And, funnily enough, i've never had anything like this.

Hotmail - don't reply to them. Put them in the "Bulk Mail" folder then delete them - selecting the box that says "report to MSN". Hopefully that'll cut it down.

Uni mail - report to your System Admins & they can block certain addresses.

If you're getting crap popping up on your PC then go to www.download.com and download "Spybot - Search & Destroy" and "adaware". Install & run them and tehy should delete spyware from your PC. Also download "Zonealarm" so you have a Firewall. I take it you have a virus checker? make sure it's up to date.

Never, ever leave your email address on a public noticeboard, blog or any other website as these will be trawled for addresses.

It's too late to stop it but hopefully this should cut it down.

And always set up a "fake" email address that you give to any sites that ask you(Join up free!, ring any bells), instead of your personal/work address.

I have these as suggested by yourself, but how do I get them to stop ads popping up?
