Over the past few days, my spam blocker seems to have taken a holiday I'm getting up to 20 spams a day when I used to get none. Is this happening to anyone else? Telus is my ISP.

You know, that's funny, because my hotmail account has been relatively spam free for the last year or so until just last week. BAAAAAAAAAAAAM, 5-10 a day.

My telus account has this one spammer and it's driving me up the wall. Is there some sort of legal action that I can take against this guy? I've requested several times to be removed from his mailing list and also clicked on the link provided in the spam to do so to no avail (link doesn't even work).

Never click on the link for removal. All that does is confirm your email and brings you more spam.

IU get a few a day, but the thing that is bothering me is this adware virus I have on my computer right now. My anti virus (Norton Anti Virus) program is not deleting it.

I am also with Telus

Have you tried Ad-Aware, or some similar program.
