Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty good
Spamkiller 4 does a pretty good job of catching spam. It's easy to rescue a message if it's accidentally put in the Killed folder, and it's easy to create a new filter if a spam isn't caught so you don't get it again. There's a handy icon in the system tray that shows when there's new email. This is a stand-alone program. If you are thinking about getting SpamKiller 5 or Norton AntiSpam (which integrate with your email program) be sure to read the reviews first!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Never worked properly
I wasted over eight hours trying to get this software to work properly. It frezzes up on certain spam, typically large emails. I sent an email to McAfee which was unanswered. It is MUCH easier to manually delete my own spam. I removed this software from my system and use Outlook filters only. A waste of money.

Spamkiller has been very unstable. I've reinstalled it over 20 times, because it stops loading after a while. Also, it no longer is importing my Outlook addresses. The tech support chat is not much help.

There's nothing to distinguish it from the plethora of other anti-spam software out there.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Kicks Most Spam Out of Your Inbox
This program is very effective at detecting and segregating SPAM email. However, that is where its usefullness ends. The other things to "fight SPAM" like sending error messages that your email address doesn't exist and sending complaint letters to website administrators do nothing to stop or even decrease the amount of SPAM you receive. Most of the complaint letters and error messages you send come back as "undeliverable." I bought version 4.0, and since version 4.5 is now available, my version ... Read More
