How To Forum
I'm a 'liberated' woman ...

Hi guys,
I've come across something that I think is very, very useful and I wanted to let you know about it...
I run a number of sites (I work for a web design company) and because of that I've probably got about 20 or 30 email addresses that I maintain. Now, over the last few years the 'SPAM mobile' had gathered momentum to the point where I was getting upwards of 2000 emails per day - and I hated it! So much of that I managed to contain by using filters, but too many legitimate emails were being deleted doing it that way and it really didn't prove all that effective anyway.
I've also tried numerous (and I really mean NUMEROUS) other pieces of software that did, well, half a job of stopping the flow. Some were okay, not brilliant, but something else I've found - and this might just be me :-) - is that loads of the anti-spam software on the market either crashes itself, or it crashes my PC. Neither of which is good!
If I'm honest with you, I really haven't been impressed with *any* anti-spam software I've ever come across ... until now ...
This week I found a free utility for Microsoft Outlook called "LockSpam" and to say I'm impressed with it would be an understatement!
In the space of a week I've ran 22,000 emails through it and it's caught over 21,000 of those, moving them instantly to my deleted folder, and with ZERO legitimate emails being treated as spam.
I'm stunned - it's 'almost' (well, perfection would be a little too much to ask for) perfect!
I'd reached the point where I almost *hated* opening my email in the morning, but having a (near) spam-free inbox again is like a dream!
The software is a small download, it installs itself instantly, it doesn't require any configuration ... and it's free, so it's got the right kind of price-tag for skinflints like us too :-)
The only drawback is that it currently only works with Microsoft Outlook, but if you use that anyway then I'd highly recommend checking it out.
Here's the URL ...
This isn't some lame affiliate trick, or an ad from someone who's selling it - this is an honest recommendation from a newly 'liberated' woman who's now happy with her spam-free inbox :-)
Hope this helps,
Carrie
