Norton AntiSpam 2005 - Single User review:1 stars (If only I had read these reviews first!) - Ditto, ditto. I bought it OTC at Costco, and find that it habitually moves mail on my allowed list to the spam folder. At least it gives me an easy way to id all new messages, read the two that are legit, and delete the 9 spams. I basically read my mail from the spam folder now!1 stars (What happened to all of my e-mail?) - This product is working on the problem I bought it to address- blocking offensive pornographic e-mails. so far its been 100% effective. (It has only been a couple of weeks however) the problem is we're apparently not getting any legitimate e-mail now. folks on our "allowed" list aren't getting through. All the settings seem to be in order, but I've confirmed that good e-mail is getting blocked also by unsuccessfully sending an e-mail from work and unsuccessfully eliciting e-mail from other "allowed" users. To compound matters, the "product support" that's free is virtually worthless. I can't figure out how to get to a helpful place- seems to require a series of mysterious downloads. I'm reluctant to try the phone help because of the cost and the bad experience others have reported with that help source. I cannot recommend this product. seems like some of the problems interfacing with Outlook reported for the 2006 product are continuing. 1 stars (a piece of brain dead software) - 1. high false identification rate. missed quite a few spam emails, and marked a lot of legit emails spam
2. Integration with outlook express, it make the rule unmodifiable, which would be fine if it works well, but they don't put a stop to processing more rules, and my subsequent rules will move the messages marked spam to a different folder, then the toolbard won't allow me to mark the message non-spam from those folders.
I kinda solved that problem by making a copy of the norton rule, and added a stop processing more rules in it.
I won't buy it if it were a stand alone software, but it came with internet security...
