    I started getting multiple spam emails yesterday. I am running yahoo mail in chrome on windows 10. I need this yahoo mail account for my business. Is there a way to stop this spam from coming of will it just eventually disappear?

    I've had a Yahoo mail account since 1999. The level of spam rises and falls.
    If it is in your inbox and you don't want to see those (Candian (yup misspelled more times than correct) pharmacy, online university degrees, driver for Lyft or Uber, etc.)
    Mark it as spam. I've blocked things from yahoo.hk, yahoo.jp and other foreign email addresses so I don't have to bother clearing the spam folder. You can block 1000 addresses so for the time being, show full headers and if the email appears to come from something other than a nonsense address (a series of numbers and laetters), block it.

    Eventually it will decrease.
