The email address I use here is only for this use, and I've never had anything in it that I didn't expect. I don't get much spam in my main account, either.
The setting Chip mentioned (IE has it too) is the biggest source of spam. It allows cookies to exchange that info with the 'owner' of the cookie. With all of the third-party ad servers, it gets out quickly. There is a way to reset it manually, but it's a registry edit and I'm not going to advise those from here. PC World has some downloadable free utilities that will do that plus affect a bunch of other security enhancements at your choice.
I say leave the forum as is. It allows detailed issues to be discussed 'off line'.
Of course, run a firewall, antivirus, and ad-aware or equivalent.
Dan.
