SPAMfighter is a small program that only takes a moment to download and a couple of minutes to install. For your first 30 days you get the full Pro version, which keeps your emails free of adverts and offers some advanced features. The program then defaults to the Basic version unless you decide to purchase it.

Following installation, Outlook Express (or Windows Mail) acquires four new control buttons and a SPAMfighter folder for dumping your spam into. Using it is seamless, and there's no need to modify any settings. You simply use your email program as before with the significant difference that most (if not all) of your spam is removed from your Inbox as it arrives.

All your email accounts are protected by the program and you can report any spam that slips through the net with a single click. SPAMfighter will then use this information to improve its detection process. You can also add all your contacts to a 'white list' so that their messages will never be put through the spam filter.

Not only is SPAMfighter excellent value (free, for the Basic version), it also succeeded in identifying and removing 100 per cent of all the spam that came in during our test.

207 emails checked.
201/201 spam emails detected.
100 per cent success rate.
