Software License Giveaway Drawing: SPAMFighter Pro

Folks, I am pleased to announce my latest software license giveaway drawing.

SPAMfighter_box_webThe folks at SPAMFighter have generously donated 5 licenses for SPAMFighter Pro to me, to award to my readers. I sincerely thank them for that. So I am going to do a random drawing¹ contest from folks who “enter” by posting a comment (below). The drawing will close midnight (Pacific) Thursday, Sept. 17th, and the winners announced Friday.

SPAMFighter is a community-based spam filtering tool for Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Thunderbird that automatically and efficiently filters spam and phishing fraud – keeping it out of your Inbox.

When a new e-mail arrives, it is automatically tested by SPAMfighter. If it’s spam, it will be instantly moved to your SPAMfighter folder. If you receive a spam mail that is not detected, click on a single button, and the spam mail is removed from the rest of the 7,258,856 SPAMfighters in 228 countries in seconds.

MG5strsOverall, SPAMfighter is a very simple to use product, especially for the novice. It can be setup and run with little to no user intervention and simply begins working on its own. I currently run this as my spam program and have given it an Editors Pick due to its simplicity, effectiveness and ability to keep a free version.~ Tim Tibbetts, review on MajorGeeks. 5/5 Stars

Blocks most spam. Almost no false positives. Filters any e-mail account in supported clients.~ Neil J. Rubenking, review in PC Magazine.

Benefits:

  • Award winning technology to block spam
  • Protects all the email accounts on your PC
  • Protects against “phishing”, identity theft, and other email frauds
  • Privacy Guaranteed – we don’t see any of your email
  • Blacklist and block domains and emails
  • Spam abuse reporting with one click – Get revenge now!
  • Unique language filtering tool – Stop emails in languages you don’t understand

SPAMfighter requires:
Operating System – Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 (32 and 64bit)
Email client – Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and 2010 (32bit). Outlook Express 5.5 (and later).
Windows Mail (Only 32bit) and Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1.

SPAMFighter Standard is free for personal use, but the program adds a SPAMfighter footer to your outgoing e-mails, and also displays small text advertisements in its toolbar. Purchase SPAMfighter Pro (retail $29/yr) and you get rid of the ads and footer. You also gain the ability to blacklist or whitelist unlimited domains and addresses (the free edition is limited to 100). The Pro edition can block messages written in specific foreign languages.

How to enter? Residents of the US and Canada may enter the drawing by simply clicking on “comment”, and entering a name and a valid e-mail (so I can send you the key) in the form. Actually commenting is optional. And, I shouldn’t have to say this, but multiple entries will result in disqualification.

Again, I thank the folks at SPAMFighter for making this giveaway possible. Try it out yourself. (And then leave a comment. You may just win an activation key..) You can get started by downloading the trial, here. (It will revert to the free version after 30 days.)

¹ All entrants will be placed into Random.org’s “randomizer”, and the top 5 results will be the winners.

  24. I thought about not entering because I didn’t feel I have much of a spam problem at home, but I realized it’s relative to work where I see 15-30 spam emails every morning and another 10-20 during the day.

    • KC,
      I am glad to hear that your personal Inbox(s) are not having spam issues.. But I am a bit concerned by your reference to wanting this program for “at work”; because most corporate/business environments won’t let, or shouldn’t let, (for very good reasons) the worker bee’s install their own software willy-nilly.

      Since I don’t know your situation, I am going to consider you entered in the contest. Good luck!

      • Hi Paul. I’d be using it at home. At home I get more emails than spam. I was comparing it to work where I get more spam than emails. As a result it doesn’t feel like I have as much of a spam problem at home.

        • KC,
          Ha! What a simple form of measurement! (More spam than e-mail.. yes, that’s not good!)

          Just.. curious (I like that word better than “nosy”), is there an IT Department at your work, and does anyone there know about blacklists and spam filters?
          Seems to me they should: the “A” in the ABC’s of running a biz network is e-mail filtering…
          (Maybe show your person Spear Phishing.. and this week’s news, ‘Here You Have’ E-Mail Worm Spreads Quickly.)
