Product Description:

Spam Vaccine helps Web site owners reduce spam.

Spam Vaccine protects you from "spambots," programs that hunt for email addresses on the Web. When a spambot finds your Web site, it steals your email address. Spambots can be a huge source of unwanted junk mail.

Spam Vaccine stops spam by "vaccinating" email addresses that appear on Web pages. Vaccinated addresses show up normally in any Web browser but they are invisible to spambots. Customers and friends see your email address, but the spambots see nothing. So you get less spam.

Spam Vaccine Features:

Proven - tested against real-life spambot software
Thorough - 3 levels of protection to baffle the spambots
Fast - vaccinates hundreds of email addresses in seconds
Safe - backup files ensure the integrity of your Web pages
Compatible - vaccinated pages work with any server or browser

Spam Vaccine uses a combination of HTML, JavaScript and image files to baffle spambots. Although it uses JavaScript for maximum effect, Spam Vaccine is also compatible with non-JavaScript browsers.

Spam Vaccine can vaccinate an entire web site containing hundreds of email addresses with just a couple clicks.

Spam Vaccine works for me - Version: 1.3, 5/4/2004 10:22PM PST

I use Spam Vaccine in three web sites, and for me it's well worth its $19 price. Pasting encoded email addresses one by one would have been quite tedious, and using GIFs would have rendered one-click emailing inoperative.

I use it in several different web sites, and it has been well worth its $19 price. Pasting email addresses one by one would have been very tedious, and using GIFs would have thwarted one-click emailing.

I just tried the demo and it works like a charm, does exactly what it says it does. This one is better than free alternatives because the ones I have tried require you to paste e-mail address, generate script, paste back on the file which can be time consuming if you have a plethora of e-mail addresses on a site. Furthermore, the e-mail icon that is (optionally) included suits well IMHO.

Now, to all WANKERS that believe this softare is for free, please shut up. NO ONE is forcing you to pay or use this software. All I know is that the developer had to spend many hours working in this and he has the right to expect something back for his time. I recommend that instead of complaining, you take a programming couse and develop a software similar to this and give it away for free since all of you are so "moral". Now how does that sound?
