Spam in Usenet is pretty similar to spam in e-mail: you can no longer
expect it not to be sent. Instead, you have to find tools to get it
filtered out.

Unlike e-mail, Google does not provide any antispam tool for its Usenet
service. Actually, Google Groups is often considered the main spam
distribution point. So my advise is to drop both their news feed and
their web client and switch to better alternatives.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird but you can Google for "Usenet reader" and
you'll find many suggestions.

As for the service, you can get a free account at providers like
