Sharon, Go to: http://www.eudora.com/products/ and download and install the free version. It's much better than Outlook and is more resistant to virus infections. Eudora 6.1 has some spam blocking ability built in. For the best spam protection I suggest you get the free Mail Washer software that you would run before opening your email [the basic version is free - the Pro version is free to download but you will have to pay for Pro.] Get it here: http://www.mailwasher.net/download.php J.
