I'm new to AVG (moving from Norton Internet Security - hardware router
firewall instead), and am looking for a bit of advice. One of the
things I see missing in AVG8 Free is "AntiSpam" detection. Am I
correct? If one needs or desires AntiSpam, do you have to get another
version of AVG. Also, what do most people use for AntiSpam?

Thanks

Max,

I use a program called Forte Agent. I use it for email and
Newsgroups. My ISP uses a pretty Spam filter called SpamAssassin
which does a fairly good job, but some still gets through.

Forte has a built-in bayesian spam filter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort%C3%A9_Agent
is it not working for you?

I just read about it yesterday and setup the 'junk' folder for it. I
will start moving any spam I receive to the junk folder and see how
that goes.
