That does indeed appear to be the case, that one was obviously from 
ashampoo, though it's not always easy to tell because companies often use 
another company to advertise.
You could try to unsubscribe from those that look legit, but the problem is 
that it may be too late, some companies sell addresses, so if for example 
that address was submitted to a casino site you're going to be knee deep in 
spam.
Many people here will say that advertisers should reconfirm their 
subscriptions, but most don't and I don't feel it's fair to report them, at 
least not without attempting to unsubscribe first.
