Having tried other Antispam software before with limited success I decided to give this latest offering from the team at Symantec a whirl and see how it performs. Now normally to test this I would load this on a PC and then subscribe to as much spam as I could get. But lately i've been getting enough spam without signing up for more so I thought i'd let it go with my normal load of junk e-mail. One thing that especially impressed me was the option of rejecting e-mail by language. This caught my attention as lately i've been getting on average about 20 e-mails a week from random e-mail accounts all in an asian language. So how did it go? Well after installing and doing the Liveupdates it was blocking appoximately 90-95% of my junk e-mail, not bad considering I hadn't even trained it yet. So overall well worth buying to stop all those annoying e-mails that are trying to belittle all those men out there. |
