What is right for me?
We recommend customers read through all options before deciding; here is a guide to help:

What is right for me?

Option 1 and Option 2 are designed for a home or small office user to install on their local computer. If your email address ends in @nwnexus.com, @nwnexus.net or @netos.com you are already enjoying the benefits of spam filtering. Some spam will still get through, but it will be a very small amount. If you are interested in additional spam filtering, Option 1 or Option 2 may be what you are looking for.

Option 1: Spam Inspector - Microsoft Outlook Edition 3.2 - $39.95
Say goodbye to spam with this powerful anti-spam filtering tool for Microsoft Outlook. Spam Inspector installs directly into your email program, running quietly in the background -- scanning and blocking junk email. Once you install Spam Inspector your incoming email is automatically analyzed against Spam Inspector's powerful heuristic Spam definition library to determine if a message is spam. Junk emails are then quarantined locally if you want to review them later! Automatic Updates work behind firewalls. Each time you open Outlook, Spam Inspector quietly checks to see if any new anti-spam definitions are available and installs them -- no searching for the right website, no configuring software. To bounce email, click a button and Spam Inspector will send a spammer an automated message from your mail server informing them that your email address 'is not a valid email address'. Get off lists fast! The foreign character set blocking feature allows you to configure Spam Inspector to block selected character sets. Report spam messages to the spammers ISP, mail relays and spam reporting agencies through the click of a button.
