^*One year of anti-spam filter updates with purchase of McAfee SpamKiller; annual renewal available online for subsequent anti-spam filter updates.

Technical note: SpamKiller supports MSN/Hotmail, POP3 and MAPI email accounts, but currently does not filter AOL, Yahoo! or other Web-based email. Most Internet email systems use POP3 accounts. By directly supporting multiple client-based email applications (Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape etc.) and Web-based email clients (MSN/Hotmail), SpamKiller enables you to benefit from its advanced filtering without forcing you to change how you access and read your email.

Description

Spam is everywhere -unsolicited, inappropriate and offensive e-mail, embarrassing product pitches, and other annoying messages invading your inbox. What was once an annoyance has turned dangerous, as spam has become a means for criminals to steal personal and financial information using fraudulent �phishing� e-mails posing as reputable financial institutions.

Proven security that blocks unwanted & malicious e-mail, McAfee SpamKiller allows you to regain control of the content reaching your inbox. It also protects your personal and financial information against known �phishing� scams by blocking access to known and potentially fraudulent identity theft websites.
