Question asked on May 23, 2014
I use Windows Live 2012.  A week or so ago, I received an email purporting to be from USPS (United States Postal Service), telling me I needed to click a link, etc., etc., etc.  Well, I was careless and did it.  Since then, I've received hundreds of phishing emails, all from different addresses, all asking me to click a link.  I've diverted most of them to my Junk Mail folder, but I want to make them stop altogether.  Can anyone suggest how to do this?
