I need to stop Spam Mails

To stop Spam mails from getting into your system, you may install an anti-spam software to your computer. But not all the spam mails can be detected by these softwares. Other things that you can do to prevent spam is to use the Filter option when using the MS Outlook. Update your filter regularly and set it to High. You should also disguise your email addresses when using it on group chats or bulletin boards. Spammers will get the exact characters that you keyed in but will not be able to interpret it to your correct emails since they are also using softwares. When registering to websites, be careful in checking the boxes especially regarding the type of emails you want to receive from them. You should also use different emails for different purposes. Using your personal email for business is as good as subscribing to Spam. You can also use disposable email addresses that sends real mail to your real email address. Once spam gets sent to your disposable email, you only have to disable it and create a new one. This will not affect your real email.
