Works well on home PC
Did not install correctly - I could not uninstall it - wants to take over despite not installing correctly - experienced a lack of response from support.
Installed SPAMfighter at home and it works quite well, but does have a tendency to freeze and lock-up.
HOWEVER, on my work PC it is a complete nightmare.
It did not install correctly - it asked for permission to pass the firewall, and then stated that it had connected to the SpamFighter server, but then it told me that I was not connected to the internet and I could not therefore supply an email address to register. As a result of this it said that the subscription had expired. It would not allow an uninstall, either from its own uninstall facility, or from the control panel add/remove programs facility. It sat in Outlook Express and just kept popping up with the initial registration wizard telling me that it was connected to the server but that I was not connected to the internet. This happened every time I used Outlook Express - even clicking on send and receive would make the wizard pop up - I found it annoying in the extreme and such a waste of time. It behaved like a trainee virus trying to annoy the hell out of me.
I emailed SUPPORT six days ago and have not received a response yet.
I have now managed to forcibly uninstall SpamFighter with a program called Perfect Uninstall - but that was the only uninstall software that I could find that would touch it, many others failed.
Impossible to recommend due to its seemingly unreliable behaviour and apparent lack of help from anyone in support.
