I've posted a few AV program tips in another thread. It's hard work keeping ahead but consider the email plague.

I have a range of email addresses that I keep for various people:

Banks
Friends and family
Work
Forums
Misc

Always use the Misc one for anything out of the ordinary and perhaps have it as a memorable name followed by a number (kremmen6789) for example. If you start getting spammed on it then just change it to kremmen5678 or some other random number. I've been following the above for years and so far I've never been spammed on any of my email addresses including my misc one.

It also helps identify where the email has come from. If say NatWest only have the Banks email and you get one come in from the Misc one you know it's fake.

I've got all mine as above and an automatic forwarder so all my emails come in to Microsoft Outlook from the 'Misc' one but they are tagged which main one they were sent to. I also have Outlook setup to 'send' all email out via the Misc one so the others don't get revealed.

Thanks for the really useful advice - I like your idea about different email addresses, although I'm not too sure about how to do the "forwarding" process you refer to.

It's a feature within Gmail where you can use it to retrieve email from other email addresses you own.

Example of mine where I'm pulling in email from my other Gmail accounts:

Then my apologies to Westonman, who's posts I always have a lot of time for. He speaks a lot of sense.

No apologies needed Moley. I'm as prone as the next person to misreading what is in front of me. Sometimes I have reread a text several times before I 'see' what is actually being said.
