Intego: Intego releases Personal Antispam X5, the spam-killer for Mac; Personal Antispam X5 Provides the Best Spam Filtering for Mac OS X(M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) RDATE:15012008 Austin, TX - Spam is the scourge of the Internet, and for some users as much as 90% of their e-mail is unwanted. What was once a great tool for working and keeping in touch has become a chore. To make e-mail useful again, Intego releases Personal Antispam X5, the new generation of its acclaimed spam filtering program for Mac. With several ways of weeding out spam, Personal Antispam X5, which learns from the e-mail that each user receives, keeps inboxes free of spam. Intego is presenting and selling Personal Antispam X5 at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, from January 15-18, at booth S-2426 of the Moscone Center. Personal Antispam X5 is an intelligent program for fighting spam and phishing emails. Personal Antispam X5 learns from the e-mail users receive, and regular monthly updates to the program help keep inboxes as spam-free as possible. In addition to keeping inboxes free of spam, Personal Antispam X5 helps protect against two serious threats: phishing and viruses. Some viruses circulate by e-mail as attachments, and Personal Antispam X5 detects specific types of attachments and moves messages containing them to the spam folder. As for phishing, e-mail scams intended to trick users into logging into web sites and giving up their passwords, account numbers or credit card numbers, Personal Antispam X5 detects and filters these messages in several ways: by the words they contain, the links in phishing messages, and specific types of layout. "Spam has gotten out of hand, and every e-mail user sees this daily," said Laurent Marteau, CEO of Intego. "With Personal Antispam X5, it's no longer a chore to check e-mail. The program helps Mac users work more efficiently by filtering e-mail and keeping their inboxes free from spam, scams and phishing e-mails."
