Increase in spam with VPN

Chodan

Hi,

I just installed Bitdefender VPN and had an instant increase in Spam in my junk folder.

I have not made any other changes or joined or added any new Apps or Software or joined other forums etc.

Any one else noticed the same?

Hi @Chodan,

That is unlikely to happen in conjuction with the VPN.

If you are using a supported mail client – Outlook or Thunderbird – you can easily add the senders of the spam messages to the Spammers list.

Try the instructions from the article below and let us know if they are helpful:

I would also recommend a couple of preventive adware cleanup steps, just in case:
