Intro of McAfee.com SpamKiller 2.90
By Dan TynanOriginally developed by Novasoft, this five-year-old shareware spam slayer was recently purchased by McAfee.com, which cleaned up a few bugs. The result? For $39.95, you get a veteran spam buster that boasts thousands of built-in and customizable filters for ridding your PC of unwanted e-mail. If you receive only a few pieces of spam a day, just delete the pesky messages by hand. Otherwise, download McAfee.com SpamKiller posthaste.
 Editors' Note:
On January 6, 2003, McAfee bought Deersoft and announced plans to merge SpamAssassin Pro with McAfee's own Spam Killer product later in this year. A full review of Spam Killer 4.0 will be available shortly.
