BIOS: Technology Means Business

The last six months of 2006 saw a dangerous resurgence in spam, as well as in image spam and potentially deadly and damaging phishing scams worldwide.

PCSecurityShield has announced the release of Spam Shield 4.0 (powered by LashBack), an anti-spam product for Outlook and Outlook Express that stops spam in its tracks - and takes the fear out of e-mail.

Spam Shield 4.0 is the latest in PCSecurityShield's line of simple, affordable security products and as with all its software, includes free support. Spam Shield 4.0 reinforces PCSecurityShield's active role in fighting security threats for users worldwide, offering several improvements in its latest edition, including easier installation, more frequent data updates, and even better overall protection levels. Best of all, the program offers a free 7-day trial.

In its latest release, Spam Shield 4.0 is the direct result of intensive research, testing, and discussion by the PCSecurityShield team with computer users everywhere, in order to improve, define and evolve the software's definition of what constitutes spam. Thanks to this research and communication, the latest release of Spam Shield 4.0 brings more direct firepower against potential spammers than ever before, claims the company. The software's easy customization, seamless integration with most e-mail clients, and quick results mean you should start to enjoy getting e-mail again.

"Spam remains one of the most potentially damaging aspects of online computing today, beyond the already significant factors of simple disruption and annoyance," comments PCSecurityShield founder Arthur Frischman. "Spam poses real threats on a daily basis to everything from users' data, to information, hardware, and even financial security. Spam Shield 4.0 therefore helps to provide an effective barrier of protection against spam, eliminating most of it seamlessly before it ever reaches the user."

Spam Shield 4.0 easily and effectively eliminates 99% of unwanted e-mail, says the company, working as an invisible layer between incoming e-mail and the user's current POP3-based e-mail client (such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express). Spam Shield 4.0 offers a number of valuable solutions, and can automatically configure itself to work with the user's e-mail client, or also allows the client to configure it manually, for even more precise results.

"A virus is a virus, and adware is adware, but in the more benign cases, one person's spam may be another person's bargain," adds Frischman. "Which is where Spam Shield 4.0 comes in - it helps the user to define exactly what he or she considers to be spam, and then the software takes over from there, helping to eliminate unwanted and intrusive spams and e-mails."
