Version: Cactus Spam Filter 2.13
Pros: May be great with Email "Clients" such as Outlook or Pegasus, but worth remembering it only works for clients and NOT the likes of Hotmail etc, so remember before you download.
Cons: YET MORE DECEPTION:
1. It DOES NOT work on Hotmail or Yahoo and doesn't allow you to add them.
2. It deceives you by pretending to have an email link to "contact us". This does not work.
3. Settings page is elusive once installed.
Altho, this does only apply ONLY to email `clients', not Yahoo! or Hotmail, it is worth remembering that advertising is indeed "Corporate Lieing" and totally all about deceiving the public into using their product. Thats their business.

Version: Cactus Spam Filter 2.13
Pros: I used this tool in my wife's PC with Incredimail since they charge a lot of money to protect you from spam.
It does its work perfectly well.
For a free product, its easy to use if you read a bit further than one usually does.
Cons: If you keep mails in a training folder, you keep viruses arrived there too, so be carefull although that may not be dangerous as long as you don't open the attachments.

Version: Cactus Spam Filter 2.13
"Great freeware spam filter ! One of the best around the web !"
Pros: Small lightweight program, easy to use interface, newbie friendly and the best of all : it's FREE !!!
Cons: None that I can think of.
Except maybe support for Hotmail and other webmail services would be good in future versions.
Sometimes gives a "This folder is being processed" message when you open your e-mail client( in my case Mozilla Thunderbird ).
This is only a minor thing, it doesn't happen every day, though.
