Well, if you're sick of hitting the delete button, our consumer guru Clark Howard has some expert advice on how to get rid of all that junk e-mail.</s>CLARK HOWARD, CONSUMER ADVOCATE: Today's question comes from Bruce in New York. Bruce, you want to know how to get rid of all that nasty spam in your e-mail. You sign onto AOL and you get dozens of junk mail every day. It annoys you. It annoys everybody. Nobody wants to have to deal with that junk e-mail coming in. But there's new software programs to the rescue that won't perfect you getting rid of junk mail, but they will make a big difference. There are three programs that have done an exceptional job at getting rid of spam. One of them is Ihatespam.net. Check it out. Another, Mailwasher.net. And the third program, Spamnet.com. Try all three of these. Some are free, some will cost you money. Basic versions are free of most of these programs. If you want a really, really fancy one, you'll have to lay out some bucks. But think about not having to deal with that junk mail anymore in your e-mail in basket.</s>COSTELLO: Sounds nice, doesn't it? Clark Howard visits us often.
