Antispam software for Vista?

Posted: 06-30-2006, 05:46 AM
Geez. I'm getting blasted with spam, and my current spamware doesn't quite
work with Vista (Sunbelt). Does anyone know of a good antispamware that's
Vista compatible?

First thing, check out the junk mail rejection capabilities of Window Mail -
in Vista.

I don't use Windows Mail. I use Outlook. The software I was using won't
install correctly in Vista (Sunbelt I Hate Spam). And, I tried some other
offerings via www.download.com - (like Cloudmark). Cloudmark is suppose to
install a tool bar within Outlook. Well, guess what: no toolar. Probably
because I using two beta products: Vista, and MS Office 2007.

I use Outlook - not Windows Mail. Sunbelt's I Hate Spam wouldn't install
under Vista. Surely there's got to be someone who has a beta product (and
stop calling my Shirley).

If you use Outlook, there is an pretty good Junk e-mail filter built right
in.

Alternate click on any offending message that isn't already filtered. In the
dialogue box go to Junk E-mail and choose the "add sender to blocked senders
list"
You can also adjust your junk email filter options from there if you dont
feel its set properly.
I've never had a problem with it

Yeah - I do that already. Just getting tired of all the right clicking.
Sunbelt's I Hate Spam was pretty much seamless, and works great (in XP). I
also adjusted the spam filter to a higher default. I'll see if that makes a
difference.

Thanks.

I use Outlook - not Windows Mail. Sunbelt's I Hate Spam wouldn't install
under Vista. Surely there's got to be someone who has a beta product (and
