"Spam increase to Freeola email"

Sorry it's always me...;¬)


Any other Freeola users noticed an increase in SPAM recently?

We've just had a pretty good run of low levels of SPAM, but for the large range of domain/emails I look after I can see a recent increase.


If there's anything Freeola can check/update it would be appreciated.

Am I right in thinking SPAM email samples sent as attachments via Outlook are still no use to you?


Thanks.

The spam I've been getting includes a 'password reset' from 'Facebook' which can 'be found in an attachment'.

I'm getting the Russian girls ones too, as well as fake watches and 'pharmaceuticals' (sic). I'm also getting '419s', including 'bank service suspensions' (shame I don't use those banks lol).

Mailwasher pro catches them all, so luckily I don't actually download any into Outlook.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Might have a look at Mailwasher Pro,how exactly does it work ?.Concerned my wife might open one of these attachments should ESET not detect it.The fact I've told her not to won't stop her !.

Re: Mailwasher

Go to Firetrust to have a look.

They are based in NZ and it appears they take their server down for maintenance or something, this time of day. Keep trying.

I've used it for years, and had no complaints.

A bit like half-day opening on a Wednesday in the 1970's...
Seems hard to believe - it might be a bad link?

This one works unless you were pointing to different info: www.firetrust.com/en/products/mailwasher-pro

EDIT: I'm sure Freeola will sort it out soon though - we've been here before. So before buying anything I'm still banking on
Freeola's FREE Anti-spam, Email protection & loads more

The Firetrust domain isn't resolving at my end. So your link also fails.

EDIT: Mailwasher is a free product, however, you can purchase the Pro version.

Hi Neilj99,
I've just corrected my link (missed the http://)!
Does it still fail for you?


Searching for "free mailwasher" shows www.mailwasher.net, is this the same company/product that you are using as I don't see a free version on the Firetrust site?

Yeah,that's the same program I found before I realised it may be a different app.Will have a look at it tomorrow as I'm off out now.

Cheers for the heads up,appreciated.

www.mailwasher.net takes you straight to a free version page, whereas the Firetrust site are only showing a paid version with 30 day trial (and yes, it's the same).

Still watching this thread with interest, although I am still getting the odd bit spam, I was at a friends the other night and he is with BT he logged into his account online, and had over 600 messages in his spam folder, he told me that was usual for a day! I am just glad am not with BT

Got a lot less spam this morning? Hopefully some others have noticed the same? .......

I have not heard any news from the issue at the moment but I'm seeing a trend downwards. Willing to accept that this might just be me though to be honest.

You kicking about today Hmmm...?
