Intego Personal Antispam X5 10.5.3

Intego Personal Antispam X5 10.5.3 is the intelligent spam-fighting tool for Mac OS X, which analyzes your incoming e-mail, determining which messages are spam and which are valid messages. Personal Antispam X5 learns from the e-mail users receive, and regular monthly updates to the program help keep inboxes as spam-free as possible.

In addition to keeping inboxes free of spam, Personal Antispam X5 helps protect against two serious threats: phishing and viruses. Some viruses circulate by e-mail as attachments, and Personal Antispam X5 detects specific types of attachments and moves messages containing them to the spam folder. As for phishing, e-mail scams intended to trick users into logging into web sites and giving up their passwords, account numbers or credit card numbers, Personal Antispam X5 detects and filters these messages in several ways: by the words they contain, the links in phishing messages, and specific types of layout.
