Summary: Do NOT waste money on this program
Review: I can't even begin to tell you how terrible this program is. For the past seven days since installing, it has trapped all of my important email (without warning, I might add) and left all the viagra, insurance and mortgage spam in my inbox.
After finding out that the program was trapping my email without telling me, in trying to disable it, I removed the email account from the program. NOT ONE SINGLE WARNING appeared that doing this would remove all rescued email!!
A week's worth of client email and information is not gone, thanks to a program that was supposed to help. How hard would it have been for the programmers to put a secondary warning in the 'delete account' dialog that warns you your blocked email will be deleted? I mean, wtf? It's buried deep down in a help file somewhere, but why would I go search that out if I didn't have this problem in the first place?
McAfee? Your programmers should be fired. This program is a colossal disaster.

Summary: Waste - O - Money for anything beyond simple Email
Review: I cannot get this thing to work at all with my AT&T worldnet account. The off network set-up options (for SSL logins etc.) aren't in the setup options, or else don't work. I get SPAM just fine in outlook, but Spam Killer cannot connect to the mail server. I suppose this would be a good product for plain simple email Spam Filtering. but nothing beyond that The support is comical, with those autobot ask Jeeves kind of things that make you feel like your talking to a live person. Ask a complex question and it has "techical difficulties" and boots you off the chat session. And that update center thing is annoying. I happened to also have the McAfee Firewall progam (I do like that though), but It keeps displaying unauthorized network call alerts for the Update Center app, no matter how I configure it. You'd think Someone at McAfee would have tested SpamKiller with their other products.

Summary: Not as happy as others
Review: I didn't realize that this would work in front of my Netscape Mail...all my mail went to SpamKiller, even the messages that I approve of, and I could not print off anything from there..I could not figure out how to forward on to my Netscape mailbox so I could in fact deal with it there, forward, print, etc.. Finally I uninstalled it and decided I would try another as-of-yet decided product...too complicated for me, I need a product that works within the email product, not in-front of...

Summary: Catches 90% of spam, but buggy
Review: I don't understand the person who said it didn't catch much of anything. I'm up to over 100 spam a day and increasing and Spamkiller catches most of it. It seems to get hung up now and then however and I can't trace the root. Anecdotely, it seems to get hung up on blank sender emails, but that is conjecture. It also just plain hangs up now and then. I just upgraded from version 2 to 4 and I still have the same issues. I don't see the complaint anywhere else on the net, so don't know if it my system (I'm still limping along with Win95 at the moment. When I first got it, I was ecstatic. There is the extra step between spamkiller and my email program (I pop with Outlook express). But it saves me from all the web bugs and activeX attacks in spam and removes the insanity of weeding through the spam myself.

Summary: Quite possibly the worst, most useless program available
Review: I installed this program to eliminate, or at least slow the onslaught of [stuff]filling my mail box daily. Not only did this program not filter it out, at all, it usually froze up and just sat there until I "ctrl-alt-deleted" it off the desktop. It was the only way to close it. I reread the instructions, and went through and tried it again...same thing. I removed it from my computer...If you buy this program after reading this, you deserve what you're going to get.

Summary: Problems and then some
Review: I wasn't happy with Spamkiller. It's painfully slow and doesn't seem to catch much of anything, even after doing some trouble shooting with Tech Support. I agree with others that I don't like the Security Center thing. To me it just seems like up-sell. Do I really need those other products? Definitely not worth the money.

Summary: Works Like a Charm
Review: I've been using SpamKiller for almost a year on a P-III with 512MB of RAM, Roadrunner (Broadband service), Windows XP Home Edition and Outlook for XP and I haven't had a single problem with the program. The ONLY reason I give it four stars instead of five is that it still lets about 4-5 SPAMS through out of the 50 I get per day. Also, occasionally I will close the program and instead of minimizing into my icon tray it will show up on my taskbar. I have to restart the program and minimize it again to make it go away. Of course, that's a small price to pay for such a useful program. It easily saves me 15 to 20 minutes a day and, contrary to some of the other reviews, SpamKiller filtered 800 messages for me in just a few minutes.

Summary: PLACE YOUR VOTE - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Review: If I could this organization would get no star. Program worked fine for a while, then I was unable to retrieve messages. Mcafee offers online Tech Chat that has not worked for 2 weeks and my e-mail has gone unanswered for an equal amount of time but sales on-line chat works everytime, immediately and 24/7. With service like this vote your dollars somewhere else until their revenues and and stock price subsequently suffer. This organization apparently has yet to learn that business success is largely a function of customer satisfaction, not accomplished by consistently ignoring you. If you have a problem good luck the support can easily cost more than the software and the live tech chat or e-mail assistance is available not 24/7 but 0/7 (my experience). I finally decided I wasted enough time and effort have uninstalled and am currently researching other alternatives and an organization that is available in the event support is required.

Summary: Incompatible with McAfee's own Parental Controls
Review: If you have McAfee's Parental Controls, don't bother purchasing SpamKiller. Parental Controls prevents SpamKiller from operating properly. After many frustrating months of dealing with McAfee's technical support, they are no closer to a solution. Yet they continue to sell both products without warning.
