1. There are tons. Tons I tell you. But the best ones are those with Firefox plug-ins and those seem to be soecial bookmarkyies. (Del.icio.us and blinklist)
2. I like ZoneAlarm's Firewall. They have a free and a pro version.
3. I love my Thunderbird. *hearts, hugs, squeezes it* It's spam filter *learns* what is and isn't spam. Sometimes it misses spam, but it has yet to delete anything important. The best thing however isn't a filter, it's this: buy your own domain name. Get the email set up so that everything defaults to one account. Then if you're at buy.com you use buy@domainname.com or amazon you use amazon@domainname.com and then you keep track of who is sending you things and it's easy to set up rules to filter people out if one of them starts becoming a spam email address.
