PostHeaderIcon My internet company being Insight says my computer is sending spam emails to people?

spam protection software

Ok heres the story insight being in kentucky where I live, has been turning off my internet services off and on 3 times in the past 4 weeks.

Now they claim that my computer and my modem not being wireless one, but being the hybrid one being the one that hooks your phone line and being boardband, because I have the phone and internet bundle thing, also being that am the only one that uses this computer, and modem, and don’t have it on all the time.

Now they keep saying i got a virus, and well keep saying my ip address is sending out mass emails to people, but they know it’s not me but they don’t seem to care, being that they find it easier to shut your service down, then track the people sending you the virus, or the person trying to hack you, etc, they pretty told me to just never turn on my computer and that there not 100% protected, and yet expect me to be, and I been doing what they told me to do, doing destructive system restores, but I kinda feel it’s not my computer or me thats the problem, it’s them, so curious to know if anyone else has experience this before.

I mean before anyone tells me to go with another service, keep in mind theres not a whole lot to pick from, and dail up not a choice, keeping in mind this is pc and not a laptop.

Also I’m not going to pay someone to clean my computer when I can do it myself, thats fine for rich people but I’m not rich, plus anyone thats anyone knows system restores are a pain in the butt, and well I kinda get this feeling that it’s some kind of scam, I mean most people that use the internet don’t even have virus protection or scan there computers or do system restores, and normally have a bunch load of viruses and yet there services never get turn off, so asking is it just me, I mean I had this same internet service for 7 years now, and well I just think it doesn’t matter what I do am damn if I do and damn if I don’t, because they believe in blaming me, then helping me out, also still thinks it’s funny how they cant protect there self, but yet expect em knowing there is no such thing as full proof means to safe guard your computer all the time, I mean I have my computer with spyware protection and ip hider software, and ca thing they offer when you go through insight, BTW how can a virus or hacker use your ip address to send spam mail to people if your using ip hider, and changer, I mean because there design to protect you from stuff like this.

Any help on this be great, because its bugging the hell out of me.

btw anyone remember that virus outbreak back in may of 2007, when insight had to shut its services down, am sure that us being the customers are at fault for that to, I mean I take this stuff quite personally, I mean insight anymore won’t admit if its something on there end and even if it was they find it easier not to fix it, I mean it’s very misleading from there tv ads, I mean ain’t there people paid to keep this from happening, I mean theres only so much I or anyone else can do, but they pretty don’t want to take any responsibility, regardless being my fault or not, keeping in mind I don’t make it my personally goal to get viruses, or hack, but like they say shit happens, and well much like driving a car, all because you follow the laws and rules doesn’t mean you won’t ever get into a wreak, see what am saying?

Again any help on this by anyone be great, because I need someone to look into this and I need suggestions and opinions that count here.

PostHeaderIcon Advice needed with Outlook Express question?

express spam filter

I am using Otlook Express. Even though I have a spam filter I am sick of the spam that comes daily. I have created a new user name - with the same internet company. I will keep both accounts. I wish to use SWITCH IDENTITY. Can you tell me how I can use the same address book for both accounts? I also would like to move some folders of saved emails to the new identity too.
Help would be appreciated, thanks
It suits me better to stay with my ISP.
I would really like to know how to import the address book and the folders.
