Only a few months ago I changed my e-mail address as the only way to kill all the spam I was getting. Within a couple of months my new e-mail address started receiving spam which gives tips on buying and selling stock. Unfortunately neither my ISP's nor my own spam filters seem able to stop this type of spam.

Although the spam appears to come from many different sources, it is all in the same house style (a coloured background, with an official looking discalimer on the bottom). So it looks as though only one spammer has my e-mail address.

How can I stop this getting through, or even better, track it to source and report it?

i suggest you to put your email address only on some official documents and give it for friends only. you should have another email address for registering on some websites or when you need to provide your information on the internet. whenever your address might be seen for everyone on any website, it can be used by spammers. more advises about anti spam.

good luck

I reccomend Spyware Doctor and Malwarebytes’ Anti-malware as ultimate protection.
