1. Most of the stuff you mentioned are to clean off spyware and prevent hackers, NOT to deal with spam.



2. Once your email addy is on the spammer's list, you will get spam. I get about 85 pieces of spam PER HOUR for my family's email server. Some ideas:



- buy an add-on product that filters out spam as your computer downloads it. There are lots of these products, and some of the newer antivirus packages have these features.



- Get an email address that has spam filtering - hotmail.com and spamcop.net come to mind. AOL claims that it filters out 2-3 BILLION (with a "B") spams a day, but lots still get thru.



- If you're running your own email server, or have your own domain name, then you've got two more choices. Either contract with an outside spam filtering company (spamcop.net and McAffee are two such examples), or install a spam filtering appliance (Barracuda, NetCleanse, etc).



My clients get run thru NetCleanse, and that costs them about $1.50 per user per month. They love to pay that.
