How can I get spammers to stop?!?

Question

In my e-mail I get nasty e-mails about dirty things like "watch me have fun in bed". I don't watch that dirt! How can I make them stop?! I tried e-mailing back to them to stop it and even more come. I don't know if it's spam or somebody from my household was signed on unto my e-mail and listed for that.

Answer 1

It's spam and you can't make them stop.  Do not reply to any more of them as it only tells them they have a live e-mail address and, as you have noticed, they send more.

Check your ISP's website or give them a call and ask if they can apply a spam filter on your account on their server.  Doing this will greatly reduce the amount of spam you are receiving.

You can also use a spam filter on your own computer.  I have no experience with these programs so cannot provide any advice on them.
