| Tuesday, January 6, 2009 |
Spam. Nobody loves. Nobody wants it. No, we are not talking about the canned meat, but those unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or even inappropriate messages that hit our e-mail in large quantities. While most mailboxes have some type of software filtering spam in their system, they never seem to make a very good job of capturing what you want to catch them, and let through what you want to let them pass. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to turn to some type of add-spam filtering. Such a filtering system, designed for Outlook and Outlook Express, receives rave reviews for the detection and the superiority of its low rate of false positives (ie,. What you want to get by the fact).
Cloudmark Desktop, formerly known as SpamNet and SafetyBar, uses a unique community-based filtering process. This community-based filtering system relies on users to report any new spam. Within minutes of a spammer reported, they are placed on a blacklist. At that time, no other member will receive the spam. Cloudmark also the same basic process for phishing scams e-mail.
What is interesting is how Cloudmark creates a digital reputation model of reporting spam. Each user starts with a neutral reputation. A user's reputation, if they are among the first to identify unwanted content. On the flip side, the reputation of the user falls when they falsely reports spam. The result is an automated, highly scalable and resistant to tampering.
Another advantage is that the software does not depend on the user to configure the settings, it installs in minutes and is easy to use. Cloudmark blocks over 98% of spam reaching your inbox with more than one million users worldwide.
The program cost is $ 39.95 for a yearly subscription. The subscription is renewable annually. For those who want to try the product, a free 15 day trial period of your Outlook or Outlook Express is available. |
