Stop Image SPAM in it's tracks

If you spend any amount of time on the internet and have an email address, I'm sure you have seen the latest level of spam emails to invade your email box. It's called image spam. Image spam is a technique where the spam message consists of an image and a small amount of text that looks like it is 100% text-based, when in fact it is an image that looks exactly like a regular email message to most current spam filters.

In addition, while all image spam messages may look the same to an end-user, spammers have programs to automatically create each image to have slightly different coloration, speckle patterns, or fonts. This causes messages to appear unique when received and processed by spam filters. The randomness of the images and the message contents make image based spam difficult to classify. Current filters used to prevent image spam including OCR and fingerprinting are not effective to protect against today’s image spam threats.

BorderWare has come up with an
anti image spam program that just might solve this issue of image spam. It's a new patent=pendig solution that analyses your email in a whole new way to catch and filter out these spam emails that have affected us all. If you have email, you need anti image spam software and BorderWare just might have an answer for you.
