Nice. Has good possiblities. It will take a long time to give a good assessment, but it can definitely be one of the best. My favorite is SpamPal. My favorite was Spamhilator, but unfortunately, it went out of development over a year ago.

It's unfortunate that a number of people seem to be confusing A-squared's new Anti-Spam program (now in beta) with their Anti-Trojan program, which moved beyond beta stage LONG ago, & is very stable and reliable on all versions of Windows.

A-squared's superb Anti-Trojan program not only protects against trojans, but has a huge signature base that, in addition to trojans, protects against other types of malware including spyware.

The non-free version's Anti-Trojan *Guard* has 4 scanners and excellent heuristics. It is very light on system resources, and is rock steady, even on Windows ME.

Personally I consider that A-squared made a very questionable business decision in using their same name for a beta product as they do for their Anti-Trojan program. Their Anti-Trojan program is a great program in a security field that has very few programs that come anywhere close to the excellence of A-squared's Anti-Trojan program.

On the other hand, the Anti-Spam market is densely populated by numerous free and non-free programs that are quite effective. I myself use Spamihilator, a free anti-spam program that is head & shoulders above other such programs.

From their site:
"
Beta version for Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000, 2000 Server, XP and 2003 Server.

Free while it is in beta stage! a-squared Anti-Spam is a spam protection system designed for Outlook and Outlook Express, but it runs with any other windows email client too.
"

ps. did not test it yet cuz i belive anti spam should be freeware

I dont know this software earlier but I am always interesting to have expiriences with the new one. But, is this call a-personal and a-free? and it is all-in-one for all malware.
Why Betanews say it is freeware (I have seen this lier more frequency). It is a free version come with basic function and a personal come with 30 days trial!!
