I use a different email address every time I have to give one (I have a number of domains set up so this is easy) and am yet to receive any spam addressed to the one I used for confused, a few reminders from insurance companies about their quotes but that's it.

Totally agree about RealPlayer though - totally horrible, makes Microsoft look fair and reasonable:)

Realplayer really sucks. why the BBC insist on still using it beggars belief! :(

Go to Start/Run... Type in msconfig and press enter. Go to the tab Startup and uncheck the real player box. Restart your computer and it won't run!

Realplayer is to computers what Pete Lewis is to Scoobynet;)

No matter what you do you can't get rid of it
It pops up in places without being asked
Behaviour defies logic
No-one would care or notice if it disappeared altogether..

Annoying - isn't it Pete;)
