This may seem like a simple question but can anyone tell me why I get dodgy emails in my Inbox when I thought I paid Bullguard to stop them getting through? Todays dodgy email was supposedly from Abbey about security and I do not even have an account with Abbey and they are not in my address book.

the spam filter learns as you use it,use the wizard to train it and you will see an improvement

Hi Arcane and thank you for your reply. I have had a look round and I have found the white list with my OK emails on it.

I cannot find the wizard.

My large font is because I have sight problems so please bear with me and tell me how to find the wizard.

There is some information here about the Spamfilter that may help you.

Hi Arcane, I had never noticed those little arrows before.

I found the wizard and I have been through it. I am almost looking forward to getting some dodgy emails so that I can mark them as spam.

I am still going to read up on this and learn as much as I can as I intend to impress a certain young relative of mine with my expertise.

Thanks to both you and Virago for responding. Lots of people have been reading this thread so I think there might have been a few other people who have found this discussion useful.
