Anne,

I don't recall seeing a response to your note.  My apologies if this is a
duplicate.  Yes, SpamBayes is free anti-spam software that you install on
your computer.  It appears that you use Outlook Express.  If you download
the latest version from here:

    http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/

the installer should guide you through the steps necessary to setup the
SpamBayes POP3 proxy for use with Outlook Express.

If you're interested in a more full-featured, but still free, mail program
you might check out Thunderbird:

    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/

Thunderbird works fairly hard at being a free Outlook replacement.  If you
make that switch you can choose to use the Thunderbayes extension:

which integrates the SpamBayes functionality into the Thunderbird user
interface more tightly than it will be with Outlook Express.  You'll have a
better mail program to boot.

Just a thought.
