When it comes to protecting your computer, you can't be too careful and that means protecting your email from spam as well.
Spam is often annoying, but it can carry viruses as well and it is up to you to have the necessary protection to keep spam out of your email and in the garbage where it belongs.
You can purchase software to protect you from spam or you can try some of the antispam freeware that you find online to protect your computer.
Antispam freeware is software that is free from the manufacturer.
It could be free for a number of reasons. One is that it has not been widely tested and companies want to take the time to test it thoroughly before they sell their product so they allow beta testers to use it for free.
Another reason is that some individuals simply do not like how much some programs cost and they offer free alternatives, which nevertheless may work with POP3 and IMAP accounts, like Spamihilator or Pixbyte, to users so that they have an alternative to expensive applications.
Whatever the reason, you should check the license of the freeware as well as reviews of the product before you install it on your computer.
When you use antispam freeware you are protecting your email from spam. What happens is the program automatically rates certain emails as spam and puts them into your spam folders.

Choosing to go with freeware over a paid program can be a smart financial decision.
Most companies that offer antispam freeware also offer free updates for their software as they improve it so you will not have to worry about having an outdated system.
So long as it is compatible with your operating system, such as Microsoft Vista, then you can use the program for as long as you are happy with it.
