And usually worms come in the form of...you guessed it...EMAIL.

So today I'm thankful for my male enhancement e-mail spam....At least double clicking that didn't lead to a 4 hour worm search & destroy.


Now for the question.

Which program would you suggest for ONLY e-mail protection. I want something lightweight...easy on the CPU & RAM...and can be used as a stand alone that runs only when checking e-mail.
and I did this, and do it as often as needed:

set up an auto-responder to the mailbox you have now that says "I am protecting my self from spam, please email me at the new address listed on www.blahblah.com" make them click something to find your new address so the spam bot doesn't pick it up, and make that address on the site
name (@) domain (.) com
so spiders don't grab it
