As soon as you tell a third party your email address you are open to abuse.
Anyone with your email address and without proper security on their system can make your email address public to the spammers and their friends.
All you can do is setup your pc with the best security that you can find and then follow a few simple rules ...
Do not open email attachments that you are not expecting.
Do not 'unsubscribe' from spam emails - all you are doing is confirming that your email address is good.
Do not respond to online banking questionaires / lost your details type forms.
Do not open any Microsoft Updates that come by email - Microsoft do not send updates by email.
Register for an online email provider so that you can use that email address for out of work activities.
