E-mail spam and viruses

[Paul]

A firewall will not help with spam. The e-mail address
you used for you post is it vailid? If so that will be
the soucre of 95% of your spam. Hate to say spam is a
fact of e-mail life.

The firewall will keep hackers out and stop your computer
from sending stuff out. Like vampires, don't invite them
in.

Jim & Paul,

I also have Norton Firewall. I never thought it could help eliminate spam.
If my e-mail address in this post is valid, do you think I should change it
to something else.

If you notice my e-mail address in all post on this NG is
this is not a vaild address nor will it ever
be vaild. So yes I would change it if I were you.
