Product Features

Blocks spam
SpamKiller blocks specific addresses of known spammers, just as other programs do; but SpamKiller goes far beyond lists. Its comprehensive preset filters also watch for subject lines and text within messages. In fact, SpamKiller can filter on the sender's address, subject line, body text, message header and can even block spam based on its country of origin.

Updates filters automatically
SpamKiller comes with thousands of filters already installed and new filters are released regularly, based on careful analysis of McAfee.com's spamtraps.

Quarantines spam outside your inbox
Spam email is automatically placed into SpamKiller's Killed Mail folder so that your inbox remains uncluttered and free of spam. Spam email is held in quarantine and erased automatically after 30 days. If for some reason a legitimate email is flagged as spam, you can easily recover in one quick step.

Automatic Friends List
To make things even easier, SpamKiller can automatically import your friend's email addresses into its friends list, ensuring that their messages aren't mistaken for spam. You may also add new friends, newsletters or complete domains to the friends list at any time.

Fight back against spammers
If you want to fight back, SpamKiller makes it easy to send complaints. Send automatic or manual complaints, make your email address look invalid to spammers and much more. SpamKiller automatically finds and suggests the relevant email addresses in both headers and text, so complaining to spammers, Web site hosts, ISPs or anybody else just takes a few mouse clicks. The result: more spammers have their accounts cancelled.
