I have tried to report it to Mcrosoft a few times but pretty much i seem to get more and more spam . What Should I do ? Nhashon (16466)
1248312 2011-12-12 20:56:00 Get a gmail email Speedy Gonzales (78)
1248313 2011-12-12 21:38:00 2 or 3 per day !!!!. Ask for your money back. :lol:

seriously
its a free email a/c
its MS
its well known for ongoing 'issues'
No spam filter is perfect. Only 2 or 3 per day isnt too bad.

in general - trying to be helpfull here ;-)
NEVER reply to spam. Never.
NEVER open spam
Be carefull with your email address , hide it. Only give it to those who MUST have it
Get a 2nd email adress.Use it as a junk email a/c. Give that junk address out to software registration, websites wanting email adresses etc.
try not to use a email address that can be easily guess'ed by spambots
eg not joe.smith@gmail.com, instead joe887smith@gmail.com
