    I have a guy here who uses Outlook Express to recieve e-mail. He's been getting plenty of spam lately. He need's to keep his current e-mail address

    Is there any anti-spam filter/software add-ons available for the likes of Outlook Express? Like something that will add a button to the toolbar, if the user spots spam, he clicks the button and it's put into a seperate folder and blocked from goign to the inbox in future?

    I know Norton Security has a feature like that, but let's not go there. Just a simple software application would be nice. Already have AVG anti spyware/anti virus, PC is clean other than that

    He doesn't mind paying a few quid for good, simple-to-use software.

    Can anyone give me any recommendations?!
