What are the best anti spam programs

Exactly what does syntax error mean? I’ve found legitimate email in my spam filter in Outlook Express and cannot get it released because of this. I get the same message in Yahoo. The sender said he would be sending a PDF document. Any help?
The email address is exactly as typed. No spaces, not dots, anything. Could it be the type of document? PDF?

I need to buy anti-virus software. thinking whether Symantec can scan yahoo free mail account, kill yahoo mail account virus. yahoo is providing spam detect and scan attachment. but does that helpful in total protection? is symantec able to perform scanning/killing virus to oulook likewise to yahoo free email account? is yahoo anti-virus(free acount) save/sufficent already? thanks.:) : >

For unknown reasons, the yahoo mail service seems to have arbitrarily decided to mark a whole lot of my emails from friends as SPAM (in the last 3 - 4 months). The problem is I didn’t even know this happened or was happening because I usually use OUTLOOK Express and very rarely login via web. These are never in the outlook express SPAM folder, its only in the Yahoo-mail Spam folder. While doing a quick check in the SPAM folder (web login) I found a whole lot of good emails (I haven’t touched the SPAM filter setting in 3 yrs). I marked these as NOT SPAM. That didn’t do the trick, because lo and behold —few weeks later I checked and there were the same emails ! I did the NOT SPAM thing again. Thats not fixing this ! I found a friends email in there again tonight —I’ve already marked him as NOT SPAM about 4 times in the last 10 days. Do you know if this is a BUG ? Its never happend before, and its very annoying…

1) My PC came with Webroot and Norton installed (about a year ago and it’s time to renew). Is there an advantage to buying the software vs downloading it? Would/Will I still have to renew again after a year if I went and bought it?

2) When comparing what you get for free vs. what you pay for, does having a firewall mean you have all the Anti stuff (Virus, Spam, Spy-Ware) by default and what really is the distinction?

A recent phenomenon. If I use my Norton Anti-spam software to permanently put the spam on my stop list my Internet Express shuts down. Every single time. Error messages are generated but with no resulting replies. I update my antivirus daily and run it at least every other day. I’ve even run Spy Bot with nothing unusual showing up. Any suggestions?

consider that there are not many anti-spam filters that block image that is huge these days? what is a good internet provider? any information will help on this topic!!
