Why is my Yahoo email account getting full of spam?? i mean like 200 a day and they all start with RE: [CHAD]?norton ghost

Sadly, it appears that you have visited a dodgy site at some time. Usually it will have been a site offering freebies or money for nothing. You gave your E-Mail address and they are now making you pay for your mistake. You may also have opened some of the spam mail thus letting the mail servers know that your E-Mail account is active. Anti Spam (especially Norton and McAffee) will not block this spam as the spammers are using software that forges the senders IP Address and they are using many networks. Another reason that the spam won't be detected is because much of it will be sent by Bots on individual PCs and your address is an active one. Once your address is known to this extent, it is usually better to open a new E-Mail account. However, there is one other possibility and that is that you have some spyware and / or a bot on your PC. If you don't have it, get Spybot Search and Destroy. It is free and can be downloaded from www.downloads.com or www.computeractive.co.uk Save the .exe file to your pc and run it. Once installed, allow Internet Access for the program and let it install all available updates (definitions etc.). As soon as the update is complete, do a "Full System Scan". If you have any trojans, bots, malwar, spyware or adware hidden in your system, this program will detect it and you can safely remove it. If Spybot detects any malware, and you remove it, delete all the spam from your inbox and see how much arrives tomorrow. If the spam is greatly reduced, run spybot again and delete all the spam from your inbox. However, if you are still getting around 200 E-Mails, you need a new E-Mail account.
