No more Viagra Hoorah!

Not sure what has happened but in the last few days the spam has stopped arriving

No more sitting here with my porridge first thing in the morning deleting dozens of ads for Viagra and loans heaven!

Re: No more Viagra Hoorah!

My e-mail address isn't gender-specific and I got gazillions of them!! The other maddening one is one that you all in the UK don't get: Canadian Pharmacy!!! Many a day I'd get 10 or more of them; however they too seem to have tapered off, thank God.

Re: No more Viagra Hoorah!

I get them, they go straight into my spam folder, and I delete without looking at any of them...

Re: No more Viagra Hoorah!

...I should have added in my original post that
there was something on the news recently about an operation to block slammers , and this legal action took place ..

I wondered if anyone else had noticed a huge reduction in the amount of spam being received over the last couple of weeks, I used to get dozens every day and now get hardly any and none at all for Viagra

Used to have this problem up until two years ago then we compained to the ISP and it all stopped, thank God.

I must say that it has annoyed me intensly, it may only take a few minutes to delete these things but who the hell has the right to steal two minutes of my life

Any government action is well overdue and for me far more urgent than talking about climate change..............oh sorry I forgot the government doesn't give a hoot about people do they.

Re: No more Viagra Hoorah!

I never get any of this rubbish coming in, the two security systems I use let nothing in that I don't want, . . if you're tired of it try Spysweeper, it's the best IMO, I've been using it for 10 years now.

PS: you get a free 30 trial and pay nothing unless you wish to buy it after that time.
