The way you change your email address is to change to a different ISP or if you contact your current service provider they may change your primary email address. Looks like you have pumped your email address into some (disreputable) web site and they have logged your address and they have sold it (or maybe even passed it) onto the spammers.

What ISP do you have? Is it bt, aol, talktalk,etc.? I am guessing you mean Vista operating system?

And it doesn't necceserily mean that a website has sold it on. If you have your email avaliable for view on a profile, or have posted it on a comment/post somewhere then crawlers can pick it up.

Then contact wanadoo and ask them to change your email address for you. (I would give instructions on how to do it but I have never used wanadoo so am not sure on how to go about it. Sorry)

Most ISPs allow you to have more than one email address and you should be able to access your account details on their website and just remove the old address and add a new one. If you're not sure then it's probably best to phone them, so long as their telephone support charges aren't too awful. Good luck.
