Paretologic Spam Controls

No one likes Spam, those annoying, unsolicited e-mails that bombard the inboxes of computer users around the world. Whether one likes Spam or not, Spam has moved beyond merely being annoying; now, it’s darned right dangerous. Phishing has become rampant with e-mails arriving that look as if they are from trusted financial sources but really being spoofs. A phishing e-mail tricks unsuspecting users into giving up their confidential information such as account numbers and passwords.

ParetoLogic Spam Controls is a product from one of the leading computer security software manufacturers that controls Spam. This defense is one of the best ways to stop the onslaught of unwanted e-mails. Users can configure Spam Controls to a level that best meets their needs as well as allow, block, or unblock specific senders.

Like the other ParetoLogic products, Spam Controls features an easy-to-use user interface with well laid out controls and options. Spam Controls is designed to integrate with Windows Mail, Outlook, and Outlook Express seamlessly so that users can get started right away with minimal intervention. Spam Controls also offers POP3 support which means that webmail supporting the POP3 standard can also be protected.

ParetoLogic Spam Controls uses Commtouch technology with Recurrent Pattern Technology. Instead of relying on keywords, Spam Controls classifies messages based on existing spam patterns. This technology reduces false positives and provides greater detection of even the most sophisticated and evasive Spam messages such as those containing malware or phishing routines.

Regular updates ensure that users have the latest patterns. This is important because spammers and phishers are always trying to stay one step ahead of the anti-spam industry.

ParetoLogic Spam Controls does its job extremely well. Once set up, it works in the background detecting unwanted Spam and filtering it away. Because the user can adjust the options, control over messages is maintained. For example, by allowing messages from specific senders or blocking others, the user can choose to except or refuse messages based on who’s sending them.

Spam Controls from ParetoLogic Software competes with other similar products such as McAfee Anti-Spam, iHateSpam, MailWasher, Trend Micro Anti-Spam, and Cloudmark Desktop. Each of these other Spam solutions has their own pluses and minuses. For example, MailWasher has a learning feature that learns your preferences over time as well as a “bounce” feature that bounces the unwanted emails back to the sender, effectively making it look as though the account is no longer active.

While Trend Micro’s Anti-Spam product is excellent, it comes bundled in a suite of security products which is fine for users who need a complete solution but adds additional costs and duplicate products for users who already have existing anti-spyware and anti-virus products.

Filtering Spam often filters out legitimate e-mail messages making it necessary to view the filtered results. By going with a product that uses patterns rather than keywords, the false positives are greatly reduced making it less necessary to double check the filtered Spam. ParetoLogic Spam Controls uses advanced Spam technology to defend users from the most evasive and notorious Spam and phishing e-mails.
