    1 out of 5 stars increases your spam   June 25, 2004
    we now know that exploits like webbugs etc are used in html to confirm "visiting a site." well in html email adding a webbug that includes your email address is a way to confirm the email address is live and valid and worse yet, that the email has been read. this exploit is now very common. Spamkiller actually does this not just for the mail you kill but even for mail it filters and you never read.

    IE every message with a webbug returns a message to teh spammer that your account is live and that you read spam! You can not turn off this feature in either spamkiller 5.0 or 4.0. this is incredible!

    use this product and you will be added to every spammer's list, not only as a live email address, but as someone who opens their spam mail (even if you don't!)


    5 out of 5 stars Best anti-virus suite I've ever tried   April 1, 2004

    Most of these reviews are not fair, PCMagazine and PCWorld gave VirusScan and SpamKiller editor's choice and 5/5 stars respectively. I downloaded latest updates and works great. Seemlessly works with my outlook accounts and found infected files and spyware that I didn't know about!!


    1 out of 5 stars STAY AWAY from this piece of JUNK   March 19, 2004

    one reason for buying antivirus is for protection.
    This software will NOT update. so you are left with outdated virus signature.

    support is a JOKE.. aha.. what support? their knowlege base has ONE line of info, and it does not relate to update problems.

    if you like throwing $$$ away.. go ahead. else, go with another product

    if there is a ZERO Star.. i would have used it

    There are better and cheaper programs out there, keep looking.

    Not stable, more complicated (than other programs) to set up for email, rotten customer support.

    Before buying any McAffe security products go to their website under technical support FAQs and read the section on manual removal of the program. This is what I had to do.

    I shifted to PC Cillin, and it was so easy to install I assumed I had missed something.


    1 out of 5 stars AVOID THE SPAMKILLER PRODUCT!   December 10, 2003

    (Zero star rating if possible)

    If you have Outlook 2000, skip this product. It requires you have a MAPI e-mail account and not a POP3 account as most home computer users have. It seems to have a big history of crashes and unexplainable behavior. If you take the time to read the McAfee support board, you will see all the problems this product has.

    Avoid! Run away from this one! Burning your money would provide more value for you.
