    Would'nt it be better to just install Spam thing that McAfee comes with?:)

    EDIT: But will it work with hotmail?

    Stop using that email address to sign up for things, use another one.

    Spamihilator will work with any email that you use a client to check locally. Wouldn't be useful for web-based email systems.

    You misread what I said, get another one and use that when you sign up for things, don't use your main account.

    p.s. You had that email address since you were 9 years old? Did you and your mates at primary school email each other with tips for learning the Alphabet? :lol:

    Looks very much like its written in Tai so could that be a reason why its getting through spam filters if its foreign therefore the pick up words the system searches for wont necessarily pick them up?

    Tai? It's Russian, surely?

    And I don't like windows mail that much, I want to get outlook, but as a standalone program it's just shy of £100. Thunderbird is ok but no syncing possible :(

    AFAIK, there isn't any activation with Office 2003... I only had to enter a serial.
