I bought the security suite and now find that it is nearly impossible to get assistance. They have blocked me from logging onto e-bay and refused to accept my acknowledged password. My account was locked and I still seem unable to unlock it with their new assigned password (which was given after they refused to accept the one I have always used before. I am not happy with my inability to get on e-bay even after submiotting the appropriate overrides. Terrible software until they fix this problem for me. Don't buy without further review. Norton isn't much better either. I had no problems until these programs created glitches.

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! [Posted on 2006-01-08]
I have just uninstalled this garbage so that I can actually download emails from my server!!! For some reason my main email account server kept asking me for my password even though I submitted it many times! It just so happens that the email accounts that are NOT affected by spam were logged in and out successfully!!!

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!

You have been warned... [Posted on 2006-02-06]
Spamkiller must work for some people - but who? I have tried it twice - 2 different versions, 2 years apart - and it (a) froze Outlook, (b) crashed the PC, (c) corrupted the pst files (the data storage for contacts and emails), (d) swallowed and lost the emails that came in during the frutrating hours of trying to put things right. The 2nd time it came bundled with Internet Security Suite 2006, which is OK - apart from SpamKiller. After installing the suite, uninstall SpamKiller before you run any programs. You have been warned!! At very least PLEASE back up your data first, and give yourself 2 or 3 hours spare time to rectify things in case the system freezes up.

Absolutely DO NOT buy this horrible software [Posted on 2006-07-28]
The whole deal is that you have to delete ALL your e-mail POP3 accounts and create new ones, directed to and through the McAfee site. Otherwise, it doesn't filter anything.

Yeah. I'm gonna do that, delete all my accounts. I have literally a dozen accounts for work, all with rules designed to protect my main account from spammers and route other stuff to approriate files. Wipe 'em all? I don't think so.

To make matters worse, Spamkiller removes functionality (at least in Outlook Express) even AFTER it's uninstalled. I can no longer click on a link in an e-mail and have it open up a browser window. I'm back to the ridiculous old AOL method of copying-and-pasting... or even right-clicking to copy the target URL if the address is actually longer than what's displayed for convenience.

Now I'm Googling to find out how to rid myself of the last, aggravating remnants of this GARBAGE. Seriously, do NOT buy this awful software. I was a big fan of McAfee -- their Firewall and VirusScan products are very good. But I've been burned to a cinder by this whole Spamkiller experience. It's unbelievable. I wish there was a way to give it ZERO stars.

The Spam Killer That Doesn't Kill Spam [Posted on 2007-01-23]
Do not under any circumstances buy this awful product; I cannot believe McAfee, which has decent Firewall and AntiVirus software could bring out such a bad product; it's almost as annoying as the Spam that it doesn't filter.

If you put this rubbish on your PC, it will take ages to filter all the messages each time you open Outlook Express and then it will put about 1% of any spam into your junk folder and a few that are not spam.
