Summary: Lousy customer/tech service here!
Review: The program does a reasonable job of filtering spam, but the so called "bouncing" service is horrible. It freezes up my Microsoft Outlook constantly. Repeated emails to describe my problem sent to their techs have been ignored. I am very disappointed and may end up completely uninstalling this product. Definitely do NOT recommend this if you want a reliable, user-friendly, tech-supported anti-spam device! :-(

Summary: Hate Spam - Love this product
Review: This product works great with Outlook - even from behind my company's firewall. There's hardly any installation, and it catches about 95% of the spam (about 75 a day for me).

I have noticed that my system has slowed down at times and even crashed on a few occassions, but this seems to be a common issue with spam software and has not been a real problem.

Easily worth the money - you can also try it out for free.

Summary: Complete garbage, no support, forced upgrades - BEWARE!
Review: This program is complete garbage. It doesn't catch such blatant spam as "Banned government CD". I started getting a lot more of these when I installed their software. Since it'd be very easy for them to update their software to block these emails, I have to conclude they are behind it. How else could a company be so incompetent as to let them through?

Also is the issue of forcing users to pay for upgrades. See they stopped updating the definitions to 3.0 so if you bought 3.0 and want it to catch the latest spam, you have to PAY for an upgrade to 4.0! This is downright pathetic. As soon as you pay for 4.0, they'll have a 5.0 waiting for you I'm sure. Think about it, it only costs $20. So either they plan to sell you the same software 3-4 times by forcing you to upgrade, or they make their money by selling your email address to spammers. Either way watch out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Program
Review: This program is easy to install, works very well, and rapidly cleans out "in-box" junk. I receive 60-70 pieces of spam per day, and it processes them in approximately 20 seconds. The filtering accuracy rate is around 95%. Integrates very nicely with XP-Outlook-Norton, and is much more effective than Outlook 2003 as a stand alone.

The only issue I have encountered is the program is not designed to support multiple users signed on simultaneously. In XP this results in a blinking cursor. The cure is to log off when switching users. Support figuring out this "undocumented feature" was great.

Have recommended and this to family of friends, and is a welcome tool in the anti-spam crusade.
