Increase of spamFor quite a while I have managed to keep a lid on spam where that my peak of spam would be approximately 2 or 3 per day. There would be the rarity that I would receive 5 of them. Part of this is that I ensure to all my friends never to send me those "joke" e-mails where they automatically forward them to everyone that is in their address book into their "To:" box. This position has been for a number of years. You might can say that I am rather "authoritive" about this procedure. Putting all this aside, Microsoft Outlook 2007 has done a great deal in quickly diverting those spam into their "Junk Mail" folder. A folder I really like in order to stop the potential of what's in those e-mails. Also my updates have been as recent as 14th November and again the 19th bearing that I had to reinstall the operating system from another issue (which I founf out later that I need not do this). The question to all would be that are you expereincing an major influx of spam mail that is also bypassing the junk mail folder of Outlook? I am now receiving approximately 10 to 12 e-mails a day which is rather concerning despite my facsistic style in e-mail address security. This would be approximately 3-weeks this wave has begun. Kindest Regards
