  1. You delete the emails and don't ever open them and download the attachments. You also get good virus, spyware, and firewall protection, I would suggest you check out some of these anti-virus and anti-spyware software programs along with a couple other recommended programs:

    -McAfee 12 in 1 Security Center (anti-virus)

    or AVG if you want a free program

    -Spyware Doctor with AV (anti-spyware)

    or Spybot S&D if you want a free program

    -PC Tools Firewall Plus(free) (firewall)

    -ThreatFire(free) (added virus protection)

    -CCleaner(keep computer running pretty good, cleans up history and whatnot)

    -Firefox(safe browser)

    All of the above programs(aside Spybot and AVG) I use and have been using for a very long time now, all with fantastic results. For AVG and Spybot they are both good in the way of free protection but McAfee and Spyware Doctor are recommended.


  2. Install a good anti-virus program, and delete the e-mails as they come in. You should get an anti-virus program that scans and cleans incoming e-mail.

  3. Get a good anti-virus and keep it up to date (that's the kee to good protection).

    I suggest AVG free since it's free but very effective: http://free.avg.com/

  4. do not open the emails, i get them every day , if your with hotmail, you can report it as junk or phishing scam and hotmail will warn you or delete it automatically from the sender. Hope it helps.
