WHenever I go to the Lymenet support (yahoo) groups, I get a ton of unwanted spam email. How can I stop it?

Each time I log on, there is an increase in this awful spam.

Thanks,
Kayda

Kayda,
I don't have this problem, but I have a firewall on my computer.

Perhaps you could go to Tools, then Internet Options, and then security. Go for low/no cookies.

Or you could have the emails sent to you. You 'd have a lot of mail, but not spam.

I do have a firewall. But I will check the cookies.

I read that webcrawlers (?) search to find addresses, harvesting them from all over.
