I have a hotmail address that I use for web site reg. on downloads ext. and every month I go into the account and delete the lot.

I have found that a great deal of the spam is caused by spyware running on peoples systems. Gator, cydor ect. These spyware apps often send your email address of to marketing sites.

How many people actualy know about adaware ?????
