“Powerful antispam filter for Outlook and Outlook Express”

Spam is one the most annoying plagues in today's technology world, along with other similar "diseases" such as spyware, viruses and the likes. Luckily there are also powerful tools to avoid them, like SPAMfighter.

This spam filtering utility is embedded as a new toolbar in your email client (namely Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook, the two apps SPAMfighter works with) from where it analyzes every email message that enters the system in search of spam. If the message passes the filter, it'll appear in your inbox. If not, it usually ends up in the Spam folder – or the Unsure one if SPAMfigher is not sure whether the message is spam or not.

The filter used by SPAMfighter can be set to different sensitivity values, from very soft to very hard. Though the filter is not perfect and may put a legitimate message in the Spam folder from time to time, it's also being constantly improved with new spam messages and senders contributed by thousands of SPAMfighter users worldwide.

Eradicate spam from your inbox with a powerful filtering tool that learns from the experience of its own users.
