RE: spam

Jim,
Nothing comes to mind re MP Spam, but...

Since I started using Earthlink about 9 months ago, I have had virtually no
spam.  At the very most maybe only 3 messages in all that time.  
I also use Earthlink's Pop-Up Blocker.  What a blessing!  When an ad tries
to pop up, all you see is a little red fist, the size of your cursor, and,
if your speakers are on, "boing!"  However sometimes you WANT the Pop-Up. 
You can override it by either clicking several times, or you can turn the
blocker off.
