MailWasher Pro 2012 1.5.0.

If there is one thing security exerts agree is that spam is not going anywhere. And as the figures have shown, levels of spam traffic are increasing. There are certain dips in spam traffic, but overall spam is on the rise. Depending on how you look at it, spam can be a nuisance or a threat.

It can be a nuisance if you don’t open the spam messages, but waste a lot of time getting rid of them. Spam can be a threat if you open a message and click on a link or download an attachment. The link could take you to a malware hosting site or a phising site, while the attachment could be malware.

A nuisance or a threat, one thing is for sure: it is important that you keep spam at bay. One of the best applications out there to help you protect yourself from spam is the Firetrust Limited-developed MailWasher Pro. There is much to say about this application, so in keeping it short, I will list the main features that make this application a definite must:

- It has a good looking and easy to use interface. Setting the application up is a fairly straightforward process that should not pose a problem to any user, not even novices.
- You can safely preview/delete spam before it reaches your computer. The spam doesn’t make it onto your computer; instead you can preview it as it waits at your email provider.
- You can create custom filters that block spam based on your input, you can create a black list and block emails from people on that list, and you can create a friends list and emails from the people on the list will get through without a problem.
- Intelligent spam filters that learn and adapt over time.
- And once you’re confident MailWasher Pro does a properly good job of blocking spam messages, you can enable a feature to automatically delete spam messages.

MailWasher Pro is an award-winning, incredibly powerful tool that will do a properly good job of keeping spam at bay. And yet it is very easy to use.
