Safety Should Be the Essence of Anti Spam Software

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 26, 2003 --

Once an annoyance, spam has become a menace on the Internet. With e-mail address lists plentiful and cheap, spam is likely to only grow worse. Spam is spoiling the Internet, reducing the convenience and value of email, and making people thinking twice about letting their kids go online. Filters are temporary because spammers figure out how to get around them. Lawsuits have done nothing to slow the onslaught. Email can come from anywhere in the world. Email users are subjected to unsolicited messages offering everything from cut-rate mortgages to used printer cartridges to hard-core porn to virus attached emails.



Receiving spam is dangerous. The unwanted spam that comes flooding into our email inboxes each day feels like a sustained attack from malicious unseen enemies. Spam has become a major problem for individuals and businesses, as spam eats up bandwidth, storage space, and employee productivity. If infected with the email attached virus or Trojan Horse programs, danger will lead to unexpected mischance. Furthermore, the violent and sexy spam is more dangerous to naive children.

To fight with spam, users have to adopt some anti spam software, but new dangers lurk here. With general anti spam software, users may find that some spam gets through and, worse still, some innocent email is killed or blocked together with the spam. If the miskilled emails happen to be individually important, the danger occurs, too. The user may miss some important appointment or waste unnecessary long time to find them back.



Anti-spam sometimes is even more dangerous when some anti-spam companies upload users' email information to their servers for so-called anti-spam data update purpose, while users haven't been noticed that at all. In this case, users' personal privacy is in great danger.

In a number of US states it already is, and there's movement to make spam illegal at a federal level. However, legislation is complex and slow. Some users have to learn some tips or habit themselves to refuse spam, but these measures do raise the cost of using emails, because users need to momently and tiredly set up defences within themselves.

As a contribution to the battle against spam and to set email users' hearts at rest, www.polesoft.com appears to be the first to bring forward the safe anti spam software concept. "Safety should be the essence of the anti-spam solutions, because spam itself is a Network safety issue." Seaman Yu, the CEO of Polesoft Inc. said: "As at home we need firm locks to lock our doors to keep thief away. Same thing's true with spam. Email users will need a safe anti-spam solution to rely on." Here "safe" includes the meaning of effectiveness, accuracy and privacy, so that users could really feel safe to rely on.



Polesoft launches a free version of its safe Outlook anti-spam product in Sep 2003. The company's new anti-spam product "Polesoft Lockspam 1.0", is tailored specially for Outlook users to guard against spam and other content-related threats. Due to pending-patent adopted in Lockspam, Polesoft has not yet published the theory and flow details of its unique anti spam technology.
