Anti-Spam


BitDefender 8 SpamDeny
Spam is a growing problem, both for individuals and for organizations. It comes in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and there�s a lot of it.

BitDefender 8 SpamDeny incorporates seven different proprietary modules to keep your personal inbox spam-free:

- Heuristic filter
- Bayesian filter
- White list/Blacklist
- NEW Image Filter
- NEW URL filter
- NEW Charset filter
- NEW Explicit Content Filter

These techniques are used in conjunction by the BitDefender antispam filter, to determine whether a certain piece of mail should make it to your inbox or not.


Compatible with any e-mail client
BitDefender 8 SpamDeny works with all e-mail clients and can be configured from the BitDefender 8 SpamDeny Console. Moreover it integrates directly with Outlook and Outlook Express allowing a smooth interaction with the antispam filter through an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.

Self-learning (Bayesian) filter
Train the Bayesian filter module based on your personal preferences. Classify messages as "Spam" or "Ham", with a single click. The filter will learn after just a few iterations, and you'll find yourself having to make fewer and fewer decisions as time goes by. Each tag you assign will improve the filter's accuracy. Your filter sensitivity settings can be as high, or as low, as you like.

Heuristic filter
The heuristic filter performs set of tests on all the message components, (i.e. not only the header but also the message body in either HTML or text format), looking for words, phrases, links or other characteristics of spam.

NEW Image Filter
The Image Filter adds a spam score to e-mails that contain pictures which appear often in spam e-mails. This filter relies on a constantly updated database of such pictures.

NEW URL filter
The new URL filter blocks messages that contain illegitimate links from reaching your regular inbox.

NEW Charset filter
The charset filter will block any e-mail written in "strange" characters - like a lot of spam is.

NEW Explicit Content Filter
Block messages tagged [SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT:]

Friends list
List the people you wish to receive e-mail from no matter what it contains or how it is worded. Import your friends' addresses directly from your Personal Address Book or from Outlook folders into BitDefender AntiSpam, so you'll never miss an e-mail from your friends again.

Spammers List
Don't you just hate it when you receive e-mail from countries you never even heard about, much less have friends in? Blacklist the offending domains or addresses to stop receiving their spam.

NEW Hassle-free
You'll only be notified of the arrival of legitimate messages. Spam will collect silently in your "Junk" folder, to be examined or discarded at your leisure.

NEW Informed Decisions
Configuration wizards are at hand to step you through all the procedures you need to follow to secure your system. BitDefender will inform your decisions, delivering informational, alert and status messages directly to your desktop, in discreet info windows.
