It removes executable attachments, provides detailed reports, permits setup of multiple e-mail accounts, and works with all POP3 e-mail accounts and clients, along with MSN Web mail, AOL, free HotMail, and free Yahoo mail. The software is available now, priced at $29.95 for a single-user license, with a 60-day trial version available.
