 * I got a new computer for Christmas. It has the stupid windows 8 which I hate.
   The problem is I have 1900 pending posts on my website none of which have anything
   to do with my school. I get a message on my email about each one of them and 
   I delete it but how do I stop them from even posting on my site? This didn’t 
   happen with my old laptop during the 6 months I had my website. Please help me
   stop this invasion.

 * Assuming this is a WordPress site, a link to the site might help…

 * I cannot see anything wrong with the site. Are you perhaps referring to comments?

 * Yes, I guess. I have over 2000 comments waiting my approval yet none of them 
   are legit like people interested in my school. I get them all sent to my email
   address to for some reason. I am an amateur at this whole website thing. I put
   it up last year myself. It was fairly easy through word press but it wasn’t until
   I go my new computer with windows 8 that all those comments showed up. There 
   are people trying to sale me stuff or want me to subscribe to something or other.
   How do I make them go away and stop coming in the first place?

 * Go to your dashboard, settings, discussion and uncheck E-mail me whenever anyone
   posts a comment.
 * Get a plugin like askimet to control spam.
 * It has nothing to do with windows 8.
