451387 2006-05-02 07:49:00 I am getting emails everyday with no subject and empty. People say it might be a new kind of spyware.
Any comments?

Yes, give them the one-fingered salute (delete key) and forget about them.

3 today - from "unknown", subject "unknown" - all about 11k bytes - get rid of them.

As a precaution I ALWAYS check my e-mails on the mail server (xtramail) BEFORE downloading to my PC. If I don't know who they are from - then they are gone.

451392 2006-05-02 16:35:00 Is it possible that if you downloaded them, it is too late-they are already in the system.
I have clear.net-how can I check before opening outlook express?

451393 2006-05-02 16:40:00 most antivirus software scans emails...before it is delivered to your inbox, it should be scanned if you have an antivirus worth the box it was packed in... TiJay (6055)

Go to your clear.net "Webmail" folder.(requires username/password) You'll find similar boxes to O/E.PLUS a 'spam' box. They like you to clear that one occasionally!

Get Mailwasher. It allows you to preview the headers and delete the emails before downloading from the server.
