Windows 7 My wife is still getting these weird messages?

[MikeHawthorne]

Hi

My wife is still getting messages from the extensions @co.ar and @co.in.

These all look like adds for legitimate products i.e. Medicare etc.

The Head lines have weird symbols in them and the body copy looks like this...

She uses Thunderbird for here e-mail client, I can't get her to switch and it doesn't have any "Block Sender" application. Applying the message filters doesn't seem to work with just the @co.ar used as a trigger.

Anyone know what this is all about, all of the copy are real words just all mixed together.

I've run malware scans and her computer is clean, but these things keep coming, at a rate of 5 or 6 a day.

The only way is to run an email client with a junk mail fiter.

Anymore info in the Header?

Do you have the option to block it at your Service Provider?

 

[Trouble]

you may also want to try dropping the @ sign. Just co.ar
See if that works better

Thunderbird is the client, which downloads the email from a POP3 (or similar) email server. What is the service she uses for her email? Navigate to the web interface of that service, here you will find options to blacklist sending domains, extensions etc. Note if you're simply trying to block domains (co.ar or whatever), that you may need to apply a wildcard before the @ symbol. Ex: *@xyz

And if there's no options to block senders and create blacklists on the email service she uses.. Well I'd definitely look at both and alternate service and client.

Mike, you & I both know... use a different E-mail handler. She'll get over being weaned from Thunderbird

Cheers,
Drew

I've been trying to get her to change for years.

I'll check out the other options and see what happens.

Good luck, Mike
