Take Control Of Your In box With ParetoLogic Spam Controls There are more and more infections that Internet users should be aware of and should actively protect against. Spyware and viruses are the most common and can certainly cause damage to your PC and even to you personally. However, spam and phishing emails can be equally damaging and especially irritating in their own way. Compatible with both Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express, ParetoLogic Spam Controls is a powerful utility that gives you the command of your inbox back and eliminates another form of online attack. An Introduction To Spam Spam, or unsolicited bulk email to give it its full title, is a pest and a nuisance. The majority of people receive spam emails but especially those that are active online. If you've ever filled in an online form giving your email address then you could be subjected to unnecessary and useless emails. If you publish your email address online then you are almost certain to start receiving spam and it is difficult to stop it once it begins except with the use of anti spam software. Manual Prevention Of Spam The manual prevention of spam means ensuring the integrity of every website you use, join, or fill in a form for. It also means that you should not directly publish your email on the web. Spammers use data mining and web crawling software that trawls quickly through the Internet following links from one web page to another collecting any and all email addresses it finds. If you are in this list then you will start to receive more and more spam as the page with the link becomes more popular. Spam Slows Down Email Clients And PC Systems Spam emails are not just an annoyance, either. They can quickly overload servers and use up bandwidth especially if they contain large image and video files. Even your system can become slower because of the sheer weight of your email inbox. Each new email requires storing on your system and registry entries need establishing or altering according to the actions you take. Other Problems With Spam The problem is that, for the spammers, spamming works. It is a relatively cheap, albeit entirely illegal, method of advertising to thousands or more people in a very short space of time. Even with very low conversion rates this makes it a method of advertising that some will not ignore. However, there are more sinister uses of spam emails that could potentially lead to disaster for you or your computer. Contracting Malicious Applications From Spam Email Spyware and viruses are more rife than they have ever been. As well as picking up spyware applications or viruses simply by surfing the web and downloading files it is also possible to contract them by email. Spammers may deploy their spam email with no intent other than to spy on your activities such as online shopping and online banking. Alternatively they may use email to deliver malware, or malicious software, that has no other purpose except to damage or manipulate your system. Transmitting Spyware To Users In Your Contact Book Spyware and viruses can be transmitted via email. These worms will infest your system and are likely to spread by using your contact address book. Once installed they will usually deliver their payload and then forward themselves to all emails that they harvest from your email client. This can cause irreparable damage, especially for professional organizations that use their email address books to record details of clients and other important contacts. Phishing And Scam Emails Phishing emails are scam emails that attempt to pry personal information or money from recipients. They typically do this by masquerading as a genuine email from a well known company or organization. The links contained within the email will forward to a website that looks authentic but instead of submitting your details to a secure website you may, in fact, be providing account details to an online thief. Once they have your bank or other website logon details they will exploit them. Introduction To ParetoLogic Spam Control ParetoLogic Spam Controls is a powerful, multi-faceted anti spam application. It uses different techniques to ensure that you do not receive the deluge of spam emails that many of us suffer. Some anti spam applications can be over zealous by relying too heavily on keyword based filtering. In the cases of false positives it is viable that a genuine email is deleted because it contains a word or words that are deemed to be spam. Spam Controls does use keyword filtering but combines this with modern and more innovative spam control techniques. This ensures that you receive far fewer false positives when compared to other similar, but less effective, applications. Protection Against Different Formats Of Email In order to find a way around anti spam software, some emails are transmitted with their message as an image or in an HTML format. These are more difficult, often impossible, for keyword based filters to eradicate because they can not ascertain the keywords that have been used. Again, because of the ParetoLogic spam pattern classification technique, this means that Spam Controls can powerfully scan emails in a variety of formats and accurately determine whether it is a genuine email or an email intrusion that should be blocked. Keyword Filtering Techniques And More Traditional spam filtering software has posed problems for many early hackers by blacklisting specific keywords, subjects, or senders. This technique does still have a place in spam filtering but it needs to be complemented with more modern techniques. Spam email technology and techniques do not stand still. Unscrupulous advertisers and thieves will always try to find a way around the software and this has been achieved, to some extent, by the use of different email formats, misspellings, letter substitution, and other techniques. ParetoLogic uses a spam database to help it beat known spammers and known spam emails. On purchase you will receive full and free updates of the database and software to ensure you always have the latest and most effective anti spam techniques. Simple And Intuitive To Use Despite combining multiple, effective spam filtering techniques Spam Controls is a surprisingly simple application to use. Most filters and other blocking techniques are automated so that no, or very little, user intervention is required. Once installation has completed you can look forward to spam protection and phishing protection within a few short minutes. Spam Detection Rates ParetoLogic Spam Controls has one of the very best and highest spam detection rates in the industry. This means that using Spam Controls ensures that you will receive fewer spam emails than when using many other anti spam applications. Because the software does not over rely on keyword filtering techniques it also ensures a lower false positive detection rate. Combining these two factors means that you receive more genuine emails and fewer spam and phishing emails. Quarantine And Purging Spam Emails The application will quarantine all emails it believes to be spam. This folder of probable spam emails can be quickly and easily accessed in order that you can determine whether the emails it contains need deleting or delivering. This is a simple process and if you are confident that all emails currently in quarantine are spam then you can use the purge feature to quickly delete all quarantined emails that you do not require. How ParetoLogic Spam Controls Compares To Other Spam Filtering Applications The simple user interface makes ParetoLogic Spam Controls software simple to use and ensures that you don't get bogged down with too many options and baffling filters. Some spam filtering software can be negatively complex providing plenty of options but no real direction. The automated systems that Spam Controls offers ensures that you will continue to use the application over and over again in order to protect yourself against email bound threats. Spam, like spyware and viruses, has become more robust and advanced in its use and its technique. While many anti spam applications were more than adequate when they were released they may be less than perfect now. Even new releases of traditional software tend to concentrate on the detection of keywords with no other detection methods used. At ParetoLogic we believe that blocking spam should not mean the blocking of genuine, wanted emails and so we have strived to create an application that only blocks spam emails. ParetoLogic Spam Controls Conclusion For complete protection against spam emails and phishing emails the Spam Controls application is difficult to beat. Powerful software backed up by powerful filtering and blocking techniques makes it the envy of the industry while the renowned ParetoLogic customer service ensures that if you do have a problem with the software there is always somebody that can and will help. Customer care and technical support is extensive and effective ensuring you get the best possible help regardless of your situation.
