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
