Spam

How do I stop a spam that keeps changing the e-mail name and domain that it's coming from?  I've also tried blocking the subject but it changes slightly each time as well.  Is there a way to block these e-mails?  I have norton 360 V6 and am using outlook 2007 to receive my e-mail.

Hi jan0070d,

 

There is no guaranteed way to block 100% of these types of spam, however you can adjust the sensitivity of the spam filter in your Outlook program to help reduce spam. Here is an article that may help you:

Please note that increasing the level of protection also runs a higher risk of marking 'legit' messages as spam. You may want to periodically review your spam folder for messages that should not be marked as spam.

 

Here is another article that may help reduce the amount of spam:

Hope that helps!
