How to Block Unwanted Emails
Do you want to block emails from your ex wife/husband? Do you want to block those annoying offers and newsletters that reach your inbox? Well, here is a way to block all those unwanted and annoying emails that you do not want to see or read!
In this post, I will show you a trick using which you can block individual email address or the whole domain from which you do not want the emails to come from. Here are the step-by-step instructions to do this:
For Gmail:
Here is how you can block emails for Gmail:
Log in to your account.
At the top-right corner, click on Settings.
Under Settings, click on Filters.
You’ll now see an option “Create a new filter“, click on it.
Now in the From field, enter the email address from which you do not want to receive the emails.
For ex. you may enter john@gmail .com in the “From:” field to block all incoming emails from this address. However, if you want to block the whole domain, then use the following syntax: *@xyz.com. Now, all the incoming emails from the domain “xyz.com” will be blocked.
Click on Next Step, select the action you’d like to take on the blocked emails. You may select the option Delete it so that the blocked email is moved to trash. In case if you would like to unblock those emails, all you need to do is just delete the filter that you’ve created.
For Yahoo:
Here is how you can block unwanted emails for Yahoo:
Log in to your account.
At the top-right corner, click on Options.
A drop down menu appears, now click on More options.
In the left panel select the option Filters and click on create or edit filters.
Now click on Add.
In the next screen, give a name to your filter and in the From header field enter the email address that you want to block.
Fox ex. [email protected] or if you want to block an entire domain then just enter @xyz.com. Don’t enter *@xyz.com. Select the option Move the message to: Trash and click on Save Changes.
For Hotmail:
Here is how to do the same for Hotmail:
Log in to your account.
At the top-right corner, click on Options.
A drop down menu appears, now click on More options.
Click on Safe and blocked senders link under Junk e-mail.
Now click on Blocked senders.
Type in the email address that you want to block under blocked e-mail address or domain field.
For ex. Enter [email protected] to block the individual email address or just enter xyz.com to block the entire domain.
That’s it. You no longer receive those annoying emails in your inbox. Keep your inbox clean and tidy. I hope this post helps. Pass your comments!

Just format your harddrive (reinstall your windows OS). Once the lock software is wiped out, you can have access to your files back. However make sure that the locked files are not in the same drive in which your OS is installed.
That’s good shot …. Wonder full my Problem has solved..
