I block, I try to unsubscribe, but nothing and it's royally pi**ing me off. I scanned my computer with various anti-virus, spyblockers, ad-aware, etc and it's of no use.

Any suggestions? I'd hate to delete my account after all these years, but I may have to.

Do you have any sort of junk filter on? I use Hotmail's free junk blocker and about 90% of the spam goes to the junk folder. I still get 3-4 spam messages a day but it could be a lot worse.

Like others, I've had my hotmail account for about 12 years and now I only use it for when I order stuff or when a website needs you to enter a e-mail address. I don't want to use my work e-mail for that type of stuff so my hotmail does fine.
