Question

If an anti-virus program is installed will it prevent spam?

Answer

Although an anti-virus program can prevent a virus, Trojan, or other malware capable of collecting e-mails or distributing itself to all your friends, they are not designed to prevent you from getting spam or unsolicited e-mails.
