Press Release Summary = Spam filtering software that lets you remove spam emails
from the mail server

Press Release Body = G-Lock SpamCombat is probably the most popular and effective
spam fighting software from an independent software developer. After all, Alexa
ranks www.glocksoft.com among top 100000 websites on the Internet and Google search
for G-Lock SpamCombat produces over 25000 results, which is three times as much as
some of the commercially grown anti-spam solutions.

The reason for G-Lock SpamCombat popularity is that it kills 99.5% of spam and
viruses before they even get to the Inbox. In fact, the program does not even
download unwanted correspondence by deleting it on the server directly. To achieve
this astonishing efficiency and accuracy, G-Lock SpamCombat uses all known anti-spam
measures - Whitelist, Blacklist, and the Bayesian filter as well as new approaches
in fighting against spam - HTML Validator and DNSBL filters.

While white and black lists are very common, unfortunately these are passive
solutions that can't protect e-mail recipients from future spam and virus attacks if
initiated from different e-mail addresses. HTML Validator and DNSBL filters can.
This first tool allows previewing questionable HTML messages with no pictures
downloaded and no hidden scripts or codes executed. DNSBL filter compares senders\'
IP addresses against lists of known spam databases. This technique is especially
effective when spam senders try using valid return e-mail addresses from respectable
businesses.

Bayesian filter is a name for a complex mathematical message content analyzing
algorithm that is based on the self-learning principle. This algorithm analyzes
messages that are marked as "good" and "bad". After that the program can analyze an
unknown message and mark it as spam (or not) with 99.5% accuracy. Unlike other
anti-spam solutions, G-Lock SpamCombat never confuses opt-in HTML newsletter
messages with HTML spam for Viagra.

As with everything we found about SpamCombat, it is extremely configurable. Most
windows can be moved around, hidden or shown, pinned in place, set to auto hide, or
docked at will. Likewise, toolbars can be moved and docked/undocked as you wish. You
can also change the look of the application quite dramatically by changing the
overall color scheme and the toolbar style.
Another important benefit of using G-Lock SpamCombat is that it is e-mail client
independent. And since the program supports POP3 and IMAP, it can be configured to
work with popular web-based e-mail services, like Hotmail and Yahoo. AOL users can
use it as well. Plus, G-Lock SpamCombat uses very unusual licensing arrangements.
The price of registering the program is 35 US Dollars. The trial version is
available as well. While the trial version works with one e-mail account only, it
never expires and has no other functional limitations. Which means that users who
don't have multiple e-mail accounts can use this spectacular spam fighting solution
absolutely free.
