Whenever I open my email, I daily find 50-60 spam messages in my account. Thanks to iHateSpam. After installing the application I don’t have to worry about spam emails any more. iHateSpam does everything for me. It takes care of all the spam mails in my email account.

Today, Spam has become one of the biggest problems in the IT field. Everyone is busy spamming others. Whether it is your mobile company, a job portal, an online shopping website, or anything else, people just sell the email address of their customers for a small amount of money. But, they never realize that how much resources are being wasted in sending millions and billions of spam per day. Everyone hates spam except the spammers.

With iHateSpam, an application developed by Sunbelt Software to keep the bad guys out, I don't have to worry about the bad guys (spammers) filling my email account with phishing and other spam messages. It really works.

Since, iHateSpam works as a toolbar; it is very easy to operate. Login to your mail account in Microsoft Outlook Express and you will notice the iHateSpam toolbar on the top. To mark a message as spam, click Is Spam option and the message will be marked as spam and sent to the Spam folder.

The best part about iHateSpam is that your spam messages are quarantined and are not deleted until you delete them yourself. This is a nice feature, when you accidentally mark an important message as spam. You can recover the same.

By default, iHateSpam has a database of emails that are pre-blacklisted as spammers. Those emails are automatically sent to the Spam folder and you don’t have to worry about them. That means, complete relaxation as most of the spam mails are filtered automatically, and the ones that are not filtered can be marked as spam.

Moreover, you don’t need to worry about new spammers, as iHateSpam automatically updates its database to protect your account from new spamers.

Rating Good

The application is available for free on a 30 day trial basis after which you can purchase the application for a nominal fee of $29.95 annually.

Conclusion
Rating Good

Considering the features the application offers and the pricing of the application, I will rate it 4 out of 5.
