Thanks Tech. I’ll read up on the program some more. I might try it on a spare machine just to see how it does.
You’re welcome. Don’t forget to check http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=3413
Been using PopTray along with K9. SPAM is deleted automatically from the server when mail is checked. K9 results for my desktop is 98.92% of SPAM is caught and deleted, it’s 99.42% for my notebook. K9 finds the SPAM when mail on the server is checked with PopTray, a rule in PopTray has it deleted from the server. I only have a few rules in PopTray, and a few for Outlook Express, my mail is clean as can be.
I’d like to know the purpose of this poll…
Why was it started Vlk?
Along the same line as Tecnical question:
If you intend to create an “All-In-One Security Suite” then please make sure it contains
individually selected moduals. That way the user can choose his/her own mix.
If it’s an all inclusive package, it will turn ou to be another “System Hog”
I have dumped many of them in my time.
I’d like avast! NOT to be among them.
Thanks.
No doubt in my mind that PopTray does a splendid job. Been using it for a very long time without so much as a glitch. Using vs. 3.2 now. 
I sniff avast! turning into bloatware… is it possible ? I mean, just like Tech said, all these questions are nothing but pure reserach surveys… you check what people like and then you decide much easier what to offer in your next package.
I don’t find Spam a problem. As a rule of thumb I only use my “private” e-mail address (to outlook express) for 100% trusted people / companies. My ISP seems to have things under control. To view any pics. in mail have to click on the header, plus after all I have Avast! Mail scanner. I use a hotmail account for anything else. If Spam becomes a problem I’ll just open another Hotmail or Yahoo account.I’ve never had to do so though as their spam filters work fine . I hope this poll isn’t heralding changes to Avast’s stance on mail scanning. Alls well this end Vik !
My situation is almost exactly the same as Abraxas’s. I have a good ISP whose filters work most of the time. I use “disposable” accounts for anyone not trusted 100%.
I might look at anti-spam software if I had major problems with spam, however.
As i have my own mail server I’m in the lucky situation to do spam filtering on server side - best free one I have found here ist spamassassin - and I have no need for client side spam filtering.

Hi folks,
I hope Sasza is not right with his remark about Avast developing into “bloatware”.
Bloatware is suffering from extensive featuritis. But some new features would be very welcome. I would like Avast to be able to catch all hidden rootkits before they run. An API-hook scanner in Avast, we would love it.
greets,

I have a feeling he is right… I hope that’s not the case but i guess we’ll just have to wait and see right?
A new FREE antispam program introduced as a seperate unit to Avast AV developed
by Alwil would become as successful as their AV program.
I will only post my opinion when Alwil team will be so kind to ask my previous questions…
Why was this thread opened by Vlk?

I think there are a lot of us pondering the reason for the start of this thread.
I don’t know of to many companies that put out feelers unless there is something in the wind
and they’re looking for responses… ;D
I use the Built in Spam Controls in Mozilla Thunderbird on my windows Machine and the built in Spam controls in Apple’s Mail on My Macs
I use SpamBlocker because it is included with my earthlink web email program. 
Well believe it or not i never get spam.So there’s no need for me to use such a program.
Wow, ReVaN … you’re a lucky one! But, give it time and once your email address gets around on the web a little while, you’ll get some spam and become one of us. 
Actually, I hope you never get any spam!
hi
spams illegal in Australia
i dont get spam
and god knows why… my email address is everywhere ;D
i used to have Mcafee,spam killer ,it was good but tedious and stubborn
and often had to be reconfigured.
I now just have Avast Home 4.6
and spybot which i think has a few spam options
most are just set to the defaults or higher.
its not a bussiness computer so maybe that why i dont get any spam,actually i got more spam with mcaffe than i do now,
also i think outlook expess has a spam killer enabled too which is prohably the one im using primarily now.
the block sender is okay for blocking stuff.
cheers
