Summary: I Hate Spam
Review: This has worked great. I use both the outlook and Outlook express versions. I typically get 25-40 spams a day and now I only have to go through 2 or 3.

Summary: Can't install
Review: If you're an XP user be careful. I couldn't get it to install. Called their tech service and after about 45 seconds of telling me there was nothing they could do about it, they said they'd tell sales to call me about returning it, since it has a 30 day money back guarantee. Guess what, no one called and subsequent calls were ignored.

Summary: If you use Outlook Express, look elsewhere
Review: I can't complain about the price! But it was only when the product arrived that I discovered the filter is tuneable if you use Outlook, but not if you use Outlook Express. Since I prefer to stay with Outlook Express, IHateSpam's place is the circular file. Well, I guess I can use the CD for a coaster.

Of course, if you want to go for the "Best Value" offer of IHateSpam for free bundled with Outlook 2002..., that's another matter!

Summary: Works Great With Outlook XP
Review: I've tried several other products, but this is the product I rely on to block spam. It is easy to configure, works well, and lets me change my mind about a sender (to block or re-enable an address or a domain). It has caught over 10,000 spam messages for me in the year I've used it.

Summary: Some good, some bad
Review: I got it to work, and it seems to filter out a lot of junk email.. sometimes it does let a couple through, and filter out ones I want, but once I add them to friends list, it works fine. Now the bad part.. it's true what some people have said about this program, it crashes outlook. I sometimes have to kill the Outlook via task manager and restart the program. Lately the program has gotten buggy.. why I have no clue.. Now it's not even working even though I installed the latest version. I hope they come up with a fix for their problems because i do like this program for what I've seen, but if it doesn't work, then it's worthless.

Summary: Good software if your are patient
Review: I bought IHateSpam a few months ago, and I had lots of problems. Finally I got to make it work, but it seems that the filtering process slows down Outlook. I first tried to uninstall the automatic software update, eliminated some filters, etc.
But IHateSpam kept kept crashing Outlook, so I ended spending lots of times every day restarting outlook.
I have uninstalled it and I am now manually deleting my spam, while IHateSpam works out on how to make their software more efficient.
If they resolve those problems I would install the software again.

Summary: best anti-spam software available
Review: To those of you who are using AOL...READ THE BOX BEFORE YOU BUY IT. It says very clearly that it does not work with AOL (however, since you are AOL users that might explain the difficulty). This filter works very well. About 5% of spam gets through, but not after the initial infiltration because you can "one click" it to the spam sender category and make it disappear...FOREVER. Great product! The best I have used.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE: Doesn't work with ActiveSync!
Review: Although IHateSpam! works OK, buyer BEWARE: If you have a PocketPC and use ActiveSync, this will render your capability to sync your messages/contacts/etc. nill. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ACTIVESYNC, without doing silly things like starting Outlook ahead of syncing, or turning off IHateSpam! before you do your sync. If it were not for this problem, the product would be very useful; but for those with PocketPCs it is virtually useless.

What bugs me is that Sunbelt software is and has been aware of this for some time, yet so far no fix is available. I had previously used CloudMark SpamNet with Outlook and it had NO problems whatsoever with ActiveSync. This situation leaves me with a bad feeling toward the company... If they cannot fix this kind of problem (which other software doesn't have) then what kind of support do they have for their product?
