I seem to get more and more rubbish emails. I also read articles in the
papers that tell me that it is all getting worse. So I have been looking
at VPN's.

I can see the idea but, as ever, the more I research the more I get
confused. Is a VPN a good idea, mainly to help with personal security?
It seems that some of them are for Windows only, so which are
recommended for Linux? If necessary I don't mind paying.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful,
even if the advice is 'don't bother'.

A VPN will not help you with spam/uce/phishing emails. I'm not sure whyyou think it would.
