An advanced Bayesian spam filter

Just because you're using a Mac doesn't mean you're immune to spam. Luckily SpamSweep will help you protect your inbox from all the unwanted junk mail that's out there.

Thanks to an advanced Bayesian filter, SpamSweep keeps your inbox well protected. What's more, you can configure how often your accounts are filtered and when to receive notifications.

Set the mail client you use (up to seven to choose from, including Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Eudora) and what accounts you wish to filter to get it up and running.

Just in case SpamSweep also supports IMAP accounts.

SpamSweep's interface is a little basic, yet it lets you quickly identify spam emails and separate them from clean messages.

While you can sort mail by sender and subject, it's a shame that you can not view messages by mail size. We liked being able to quickly switch by account though, and the little search box to quickly find specific email.

The best function of SpamSweep is probably being able to create custom filters. This will help you not only block out recurring spam messages but also identifying email that you absolutely never want to be marked as spam.

You'll also be able to create a sender white list for extra precaution. Whenever a message is marked as spam you'll get a little summary box about who the sender is, if the domain or relay have been blacklisted and what the Bayesian score is.

Spam messages can be deleted afterwards, or you can set SpamSweep up so it automatically trashes any spam message it finds. One little nag we had with it is that it only offers up two hotkeys to work with.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
