With fraudulent, inappropriate and offensive emails being delivered with escalating frequency to adults, children and businesses, email users require a comprehensive solution to protect them from the annoyance and dangers of "spam".McAfee SpamKiller quickly and easily helps you control spam from polluting your Inbox.

Every time you send your email address out into the world, you are exposing yourself and your business to the deluge of spam email. To make the problem worse, email lists are also sold and resold within spammer networks, greatly increasing the volume of spam sent to a user's email address. McAfee SpamKiller provides an easy-to use, effective anti-spam solution for both consumers and businesses. With a multitude of anti-spam tools and automatic complaint mechanisms, SpamKiller offers email users an unprecedented level of security and control. SpamKiller installs with a database of known spammers. Additionally, its comprehensive preset rule-based filters scan the sender's address, subject line, body text, message header and country of origin in determining if an email is legitimate mail or spam. SpamKiller's filter wizard presents a simple, step-by-step method for users to create new spam filters based on spam messages that have been received. Users simply choose the part of the message on which to filter and SpamKiller automatically develops the filter.
SpamKiller gives email users the ability to report spammers to the proper authorities. SpamKiller can automatically determine the origin of a spam email and send a formal complaint to the abuse desk of the spammer's ISP. SpamKiller also enables users to automatically send a 'bounced email' message back to spammers, which can help to effectively remove their address from email lists.
