Spam Stoppers -- Consider using an Internet service provider or an email service that includes anti-virus and spam filtering
as your first line of
defense. An increasing number of Internet service providers (ISP) and
email services are offering anti-virus and spam filtering services to their
customers. If you need or want to keep your current ISP who does not offer these
services, try an email service that does. In addition
to or instead of an online service, you can install software on your
computer to catch spam. For an overview of the problem, see
