How to Block Multiple Junk Emails in Microsoft Outlook Express
Junk email can be sent by people -- but usually it is done by "bots," automated software over the Internet that can be malicious. The emails contain advertisements or sometimes files to be downloaded. Junk Emails are sent to your email inbox when you sign up for things using your email. You can use a third party software that is placed between your email provider server and Microsoft Outlook Express to block junk email from entering your inbox completely.
