SpamKiller's stunning array of built-in filters makes it easy to keep your e-mail junk-free, and it's a snap to create your own filters to combat a particularly pesky spammer. But this program doesn't stop there. You can report those spamming punks in no time, using the program's excellent reporting tools.

Spammers. Your ISP can't seem to shake them. The government, though hot on their trail, still hasn't prosecuted the bulk of them. And your e-mail filters? They're mere playthings for these punks.

Is there anything you can to do to stop these faceless, nameless peddlers of hair-replacement creams, get-rich-quick schemes, and XXX Web sites from taking over your e-mail account? True, you could just throw in the towel and think of spam as another annoying and inevitable by-product of living in a technocentric, ad-ridden world. But c'mon, where's the justice in that? Take revenge.

But how?
