Spam...I HATE YOU!!!

I just can't take it anymore...
Although most of the spam e-mail I get ends up in a rarely used Yahoo account (and we are talking about 7 e-mails per day), for the last month I have been receiving spam in my other accounts which (unlike the aforementioned one) I forward to Outlook.
Thus, every time (twice per day) I check my e-mail, I get at least 4-5 e-mails with extremely annoying context.
Though the ones with weird attachments (a.k.a., viruses) are limited in number, still this situation is frustrating because they are just junk! From online degrees to pirate software, and from invitations to online gambling to special drugs which are supposed to improve my sexual life, although I found it funny in the beginning, now it's just becoming annoying.
I guess, I can always stop forwarding my e-mail accounts to Outlook, or create a new one that I will just give it to friends. However, I do believe that something can be done for this situation, namely more improved spam filters could be implemented.
I have to admit that Yahoo does a good work since, I rarely get any spam e-mail that will not be automatically forwarded to the "bulk" folder. (Unfortunately, the amount of junk e-mail this account receives does not allow me to turn it to my basic one, and besides, they charge for POP 3 forwarding.....)
