That is a very good point. I had been using Postini & McAffee provided by the ISP, and it caught most of it. Unfortunately you would still have to deal with it in the web interface so I abandoned it.

I've looked at Spampal but not in detail. Free is good too. I've installed Alexander's Baysian plug-in and its just starting to work. Guess it's the techy in me that drives me to do it myself:/ It just seems with all of the capabilities of TB one could be the master of our plagues. One little detail I forgot to mention to everyone about SWEN: It found me through Opera's newsgroups when I had mistakenly posted a reply-to address that was not *cloaked*. It was immediately harvested :( But M2 is safe in itself and things could not be better than with The Bat! and AVG.
