Nice idea, but it doesn't work [Posted on 2003-11-13]
I uninstalled this program because I ended up spending more time dealing with it than it took simply to delete spam messages every morning. It is not capable of detecting messages with forged headers and does not provide an option for automatically deleting messages from foreign countries, which constitute a tremendous amount of the spam I receive.

I Despise I Hate Spam! [Posted on 2003-11-21]
I bought and installed I Hate Spam on Outlook Express. In spite of careful setting of filters, it continues to place good mail in 'Deleted' and put garbage in my 'Inbox'. But, that is not the worst of it!! I have uninstalled it from my computer and it CONTINUES to interfere with my email and delete my good mail. I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!!

I Hate "I Hate Spam".

The Best One Yet! [Posted on 2003-12-03]
As a small business owner, my inbox used to receive a constent flow of Spam, that is until I installed "I HATE SPAM".
I have tried other products before, but this one is easy to use, and does actually work.

Only catches half the spam [Posted on 2003-12-19]
This software only catches half the spam I get. When it misses emails with text such as "Banned government CD" I have to wonder if they guys are updating their software at all.

Poorly Excecuted Software [Posted on 2007-03-20]
I used this software for a year thinking I was doing the world a favor by waiting for it to bounce spam back to the senders, but I have found that it is a good idea with poor execution.

Problems include:
- Causes Outlook to fault and Outlook is always asking me if it can disable it.
- Sloooooow updates. The update process takes about half an hour and it slows my not-too-old computer to a halt.
- Spawns many processes that use up all my computer's memory. If I look at the task manager when my computer is slow, I see eight or more IHS processes running (80-120k), most of which are the largest programs running. I have attempted to give them a low priority, but it doesn't help.
- I think it is just a poorly developed program. I can close Outlook but IHS never shuts down. Great big program running all the time doing nothing but eating up my computer memory. If it were well behaved, I would think it would shut itself down with Outlook.
- Supposed to put people I send mail to in the "friends" list and that doesn't work ever, at all.
- Whenever I upgraded, I would have problems and the nice support people would tell me to cclean out all my saved filters so I would have to start all over.
- Those saved filters seem to eventually confuse themselves, so you can't just accummulate them because once they stop working, then the whole program gets confused, keeps spam and quarantines the good stuff.
- The program bounces mail back but the work that demands of my computer is huge and really slows things down. I can't figure out how to turn that bounce off.
I've pointed out these issues to their support and they tell me to reinstall, but that hasn't worked the two times I've tried it. So, I've given up on IHS. Too bad.
