Publisher's Description

MailFrontier Desktop (formerly Matador) removes the spam and phishing from your inbox. It protects your inbox automatically — no setup is needed. Using advanced spam filters and other technologies, it checks email as it comes in, and diverts spam mail to a Junk box. Email fraud is put in a separate fraud folder so you’re protected and informed. If an email gets through you don’t want, you can click “Junk “ to delete it, train it to match your preferences, and contribute your vote against spam to the real-time response network.

This is a very effective program but on my machine it stops working sometimes. Spamihilator is freeware/ligther and works even better.

The best anti-spam software I've ever used.

I've been using MailWasher Pro, but was not %100 satisfied.
I just tried Matador and it is very simple to set up and use. This is a keeper!

Just a quick note captainahab Matador uses much more sophisticated algorithms than simple white lists. It automatically identifies and blocks forged headers by analyzing the hidden headers and tracking original servers that sent the message. They also have another corporate solution that can sit on the corporate server to block spam for all employees and learn from their blocking patterns. Thus its accuracy over other simpler products in the market.

Kudos to Matador for being on the right track. Challenge/response is the only sure way of blocking spam but the only problem with using an anti-spam program such as Matador or other client sided spam blocker is that you still have to download the spam - it just gets sent to a different folder. Server side challenge/response with whitelisting of all approved senders is the best bet at keeping spammers out while assuring you receive all legitimate email.

Just to let you know, you can disable those messenger popups easially without software. START > RUN > Services.msc *enter*. Then right click on Messenger Service in the list and go to properties, set it to disabled, and stop the running service. Easy as 123 :D

I loved the new "Messenger Popup Spam" Blocker, which is another new and annoying spam type that bobard you with system messages like ads that doesn’t require users to even have a web browser open.

excellent program.. very reliable.. around 80% accuracy, i've been using it since Beta 1.0 and it was worth every penny, it even identifies and blocks picture spamming and non-english offensive content. It can also learns from other Matador users Junk preferences, and start blocking new spammers.
