Since I have been using the product since december it has been excellent at filtering SPAM out of my inbox , of course no filter is 100% accurate but this is better than most on the market. I would recommend it to anyone who gets even the slightest amount of SPAM. It is also good value for money because you get the ad blocker/pop-up blocker included.
