Spam Buster is a utility to help you filter out your unwanted emails. A common practice on Web sites now is to get your email address so that they can keep in contact with you through emails. Instead of going to the source and solving the problem, Spam Buster works on your machine to combat the problem from home. Running behind your email account, Spam Buster picks up where the email is coming from and stops the download of the unsolicted email. This means that you won't see it come up in your Inbox and you won't have to waste time online downloading something you don't need.
