New Tools: SPAMfighter
Despite all the antivirus tools and the routers and the “walls” my inbox is still loaded with spam
– some of it very interesting to read and you can learn a lot from the headlines, the fonts and
colouring, however enough is enough and so I went looking for a spam removal program that
works with MS Outlook and doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars. Here’s what I found: a terrific
spam removal tool called SPAMfighter and it’s perfect for home-based travel agents. The big
PLUS is that if you are using this program at home versus a corporation, then the program is
free to use. The free version is of course minus a few tools and options however the next big
PLUS is the price for the Pro version at only $34 – renewed each year. Below you can read
some of the information from the SPAMfighter website and the image on the right shows
where the program resides in Outlook. You would click on More to find the additional options.
Free Spam Filter for Outlook, Outlook Express,
Thunderbird, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail
SPAMfighter has partnered up with Microsoft to build the strongest,
safest, and most effective anti-spam filter on the market. If you use
Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail or
Thunderbird and you want to get rid of spam, just install SPAMfighter.
And if you use it at home, it's 100% free.
Whenever new mail arrives, it will automatically be tested by
SPAMfighter, and if it's spam, it will be moved to your spam folder. If
you receive a spam mail that is not detected, click a single button, and
the spam mail is removed from the rest of the 8,487,715 SPAMfighters
in 237 countries/areas in seconds.
So easy to use. Once you download it, the program will attach itself to
Outlook and as your inbox fills it will remove the spam and block it for evermore. It works like a dream.
Next, you can click on an email that was borderline spam and not removed by SPAMfighter - then you’ll
click Block, and that spam will not return either. Once in a while you’ll need to police your spam folder as
some of your suppliers may use spam like words in their subject line. To return them to your inbox click
Unblock and if you wish, also add your supplier’s email address to the Whitelist.
