    Hi there, Over the weekend I (stupidly) downloaded a program to let me view GPX files. Once I realised it was dodgy I completely deleted it from my PC. Now I'm being bombarded with SPAM. All this crap comes from different e-mail addresses - so it's no just a case of blocking one e-mail address. My e-mail account is with eircom webmail. Heeeelllllpppp someone please!

    report it as spam....... once eircom's webmail server reaches a quota of reported mails as spam it starts to block them

    SNAP....i got 80 spam emails via eircom in 4 hours on Monday. I was getting one on average every 10 minutes. It's died off today, say I've only got about 30 today...they were all 'health and beauty' type spams! just don't click on the link and they realise it's an in active account?!

    i was having problems with eircom last year (emails from hotmail accounts wouldn't deliver) i opened up a gmail account...best decision ever! NO SPAM messages in 10 months :)
