So there I was going through my e-mail inbox and blocking off some more spam mail when I suddenly noticed a title. I did not think of it much, but when I read it properly it said, "This will make you feel like you are 20!!!!"

I was torn between laughing or moaning the lack of intelligence (as in market research) some spammers have.

I am 19.

It's my belief that marketers are grown from slimy single cell organisms. They just can't be human ....

I do not usually open up spam mail. I just block them immediately, so I will never know. Not that it will keep me awake. I want to remain 19 a little longer. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So basically it will return me to that point in my my life when I was completely uncertain about everything... What I wanted to do in the future, who I was, having all of my friends just recently move on... What a gem that product must be...

Get Mailwasher. you can filter spams before they even got into your inbox. As far as I know, this program is an adware but it does not collect you private information and sell it to ad companies.

There are some viruses going around that you only need to Preview the mail in Outlook to have it.
Better safe than sorry

Which is why I use a hotmail account. Cant exploit outlook vulnerabilities if outlook has nothing to do with it. Plus they scan everything, so in theory at least your covered.

Damn, just a thought. Javascript viruses? They could be embedded in a hotmail message, coudnt they?

Damn, now im getting paranoid. But even if they could be an unexpected 100K+ email would be suspicious.
