McAfee SpamKiller ... not a big fan...
by Jame
I'm not a big fan of McAfee SpamKiller. It came pre-installed on my Dell Dimension E520 and I've since uninstalled it.
I've kept the other aspects of McAfee's security suite, including SecurityCenter, VirusScan and Personal Firewall, but the SpamKiller product is (was) killing me.
Every time I opened Outlook it would take anywhere from 3-5min to scan new email for spam before opening the interface. The image on the left is what I would get to stare at for those 3-5min.
You try dealing with that when you've got to send an important email, and you have had the bad fortune to actually have received mail since the last time Outlook was open.
I'd be interested in others' reaction to this product, but for now I'm quite happy without it.
I'll stick with Cloudmark... it works well for me.
