I use SPAMSUBTRACT. I used it for awhile then got a new computer that came with Norton’s version. It did not learn well, or I didn’t figure out how to use it. I have tried TrendMirco at work. Still use SPAMSUBTRACT there too. I like the ability to mass delete from the server.

About the bloatware issue,
BitDefender has an antispam function (which works well very well) and uses about the same amount as memory (if not less) than Avast!.
Are you referring to the paid version?
The memory used by the antispam module is the same as whole avast antivirus? :o
No, the suite package (I didn’t use the firewall) is about the same as Avast!.
Well CharleyO, he’s not the only one, that’s for sure… I also use gmail as my primary e-mail and I never ever got any SPAM tanks to gmail’s built-in antispam feature. This is so good, I completely abandoned my ISP’s e-mail and switched to gmail… for good. 
;D
Well actually when I come to think about it, I don’t need a antispam program at all because my Gmail and Hotmail accounts both rarely get spam and the built in filters that they have seems to always get the spam 
Strange, my hotmail account rarely has anything but Spam. Probably because it is only used when I’m forced to give an email and I don’t really want to and Hotmail doesn’t do any form of automatic spam filtering. Yet my MailWasher’s origins of spam (known spam locations) flags most of them as Spam and my filters catch virtually all the rest.
I use Spamihilator, and it works very well!
Don’t tend to get much spam. I use the unlimited e-mail address function anything@… with my domain name to ‘personlise’ accounts.
So the company name will be the first part of the e-mail address alwil@…
Anyone that sends me spam, when I have SPECIFICALLY ticked (or unticked - watch for the catch) the box gets blocked.
INCIDENTALLY this is how I came across AVAST as I had signed up for 12 months with Norton - Sygate or whatever the idiots call themselves norton@… the amount of spam sent to that address … (from Norton) was stunning. When I complained, and I said I knew it was from them (after about a month and £65 or whatever it was then) they said tough … they had my money.
Erased Norton that day, then installed Avast, that was 2 years ago.
NORTON - GET STUFFED!! :-*
I Feel better now 
My vote has to go for Mailwasher as well.
Mindspring/Earthlink provides spam filters you can turn on for your email account. You can block email addresses and sometimes whole domains so that they can’t send you a single one. It catches a WHOLE lot so I only get about 12 day instead of 80-100 per day (keeps em in a spam folder that is auto emptied occasionally). Then Mozilla’s Thunderbird email program provides another level of spam filtering, once you get one you can tell it that it’s SPAM and it does a pretty fair job of catching any further from the same folks. It can also be setup to catch dirty words and other keywords. Fairly satisfied with this.
Mailwasher, hands down. How can you beat being able to view what is on
your server without downloading it, then putting a check in delete for ones
you don’t want.
Plus it learns what mail you want & don’t want…10 out of 10 for Mailwasher.
All in one secret maker has a Spam feature that seems to work.
Have any of you ever heard of/tried Spybot?
Is it good, bad, or the same as the rest?
Which Spybot? Spybot - Search & Destroy? It’s not an antispam but an antispyware…
Can you post a link to that Spybot that is an antispyware?
http://www.spybot.com/
So… do I need to get something else?
I have Spybot - Search & Destroy, and avast!
Yahoo mail does a good job on blocking/removing spam.
With email clients, I just use the filter options that most have build in.
Works like a charm, no need for a third party prog to block spam.
The title of the thread is Which FREE antispam do you find the best?
So, I suppose you need an antispam and not only an antivirus and an antispyware.
