« on: November 08, 2007, 12:15:40 PM »
For the last 2 weeks i received a lot of spam mail. The address in most cases is not my e-mail address, the @service provider is the same as mine but the first part is from names i never new off. Where can n look for the problem? I am on a dailup connection ,win2000, Mcafee and comodo as a firewall. thank you.

It happens with spam. Try to employ your mail client filters.
Make sure, your AV is up to date, and you're spyware free.

You can also assemble a list and submit it to your ISP...the good ones will block it for you.
