What do you mean by anti-spam? Do you mean popups, ad-ware, tracking cookies, etc? For popups you can use the google toolbar, it works great. For adware and cookies you can scan your computer useing spyboy search & destroy or ad-aware.

E-mail spam, thats hard to get rid of. The only thing I've found that works is just blocking it.

Send a message via MSN to Hi Ho
What email program are you using? I would recommend Mozilla Thunderbird. You can apply custom filters that drastically cut down on SPAM.

I use Hotmail myself. Any SPAM I get goes directly to my junk mail folder. I haven't found anything that filters better than Hotmail.

If you wish to donate to the Mozilla Foundation, I'm sure they will happily accept your info and treat it with confidentiality.

I've been pretty pleased with Spam Bully http://www.spambully.com/ It's pretty easy to use and very accurate.

I still use Mailwasher... but the thing I have learned, while it may give you a good feeling to bounce back the e-mails... don't... you just get more spam... blacklist and that's it.... I get very little spam on my ISP account.
