Spam CounterStrike

Email is the fastest and most convenient way to keep in touch with friends, family and overseas business partners, as location is of no importance when sending a message.
However, the major downside of this communication method is undoubtedly spam, unsolicited messages that can make users waste time or even get their computers infected by malware.
Spam CounterStrike is one of the numerous applications that can help users reduce the amount of spam they receive to a minimum.
They first need to specify the name of the default email client (such as Eudora, IncrediMail, Outlook, Outlook Express or any other one), then connect the utility with Spam CounterStrike. Next, the address book needs to be imported so as increase the accuracy of the spam filter by providing it with a friend list.
The final step implies creating rules for successfully moving the messages that are flagged as spam to a specific folder, within the email client.
Once all the steps have been completed, Spam CounterStrike runs in the background and it only displays an icon in the system tray. Clicking this icon displays a menu that can be accessed whenever users want to manually add an email address to the white- or blacklist.
The filtering level can be adjusted with a single mouse click and it can be switched between Minimal, Aggressive and Extreme.
To ensure that all spam is detected, users can set up a database where they define the conditions a message should meet to be considered spam. For example, they can create lists with suspicious attachment formats, banned domains, offensive words and the such.
All in all, Spam CounterStrike can prove to a nifty tool for all those who want to ensure their inbox is populated only by legit messages.System requirements128 MB RAM
