If you’re sick of getting junk email, then you should think of installing a good anti-spam software. Before you do, you should check with your current email provider to see if they are currently filtering out spam. If so, and you’re still getting tons of junk, ask them to make the filter stronger. If they are not filtering junk, then next step is to check your antivirus software. Sometimes, it has a built-in spam protector that may be turned off or is not on the strongest protection.
If you are sure there is not anti-spam filter for your email, you can first try a free software.
The best free anti-spam software I’ve seen is Spamihilator. As its name suggests, it knocks out any spam. What I like about it is that it’s very easy to set up and it works with any email client, including all POP and IMAP accounts. This free spam software acts between your email client, i.e. Outlook, and your email provider, i.e. Gmail, so that spam never goes through your computer. It is blocked before it touches your system. What’s also nice is that you can check for any false positives, or mistakenly good emails as spam, by just going to the Spamihilator console and then you can easily retrieve good emails. Lastly, it supports all operating systems through Windows 7 support and makes great use of the Bayesian filters to get rid of the correct spam email.
