Really begining to get fed up with the seemingly endless tirade of e-mails offering me viagra, penis enlargment patches and various other drugs, when I check my computer each morning. They must be talking to my wife!

The worrying thing is that I ask my P.A. to check my e-mails, when I'm not at the office and so she must wonder what I've been up to, or not, as the case might be.

If that isn't bad enough, the almost daily tlephone calls offering me investment advice in the USA stock market are also getting on my t*ts.

To make matters worse still, I've noticed that I'm spending more and more time reading these forums than concentrating on my job

Is there a solution

Get some decent anti spam / virus software. This can be trained to remove such emails. I was getting about 100 each day but now only a few slip through the net.

Once you have told the USA touts to F*** off several times they soon leave you alone.

Try downloading Mailwasher 2.0. It's free and by spotting dodgy e-mails is very good at keeping out viruses too.

No, only bankruptcy when they take your computer away.
