Product Description:

SpamStopper is a web designer's utility that will help keep email address harvesting spambots from grabbing email addresses from your website(s). No, I'm not joking -- this actually works!

How does it work? SpamStopper encodes the text of your email address so that it no longer looks like an email address in your HTML, which makes all the current harvesting spambots ignore it when they scan internet pages. Basically, indexing spiders look for certain email address-identifying characters, and SpamStopper makes it so that those characters aren't displayed -- it's pretty much that simple.

All you have to do with the SpamStopper application is enter your email address and optionally specify the email subject and link text you would like to be displayed. Then you just click the "Convert" button and you get the encoded output -- ready to copy and paste into your site creation tool of choice.

You can also save all your encoded addresses for future reference, and the saved address, subject, and display text will be available in the popup menus next to the associated field, ready to be reused or mixed-and-matched.

I need to emphasize that this program is for WEB DESIGNERS -- it doesn't do anything associated with sending an email message or encoding your email address for use with your email application.

Features include:

  • Simple and fast.
  • Eight different output formats utilizing both HTML and JavaScript.
  • Ability to save your entered data for future reference.
  • Version checking capability.
  • 110% FREE!

If you have a web site and you don't want your email addresses harvested by all the spambots scouring the internet, SpamStopper is the tool for you!

  • Now Universal Binary.

...this was all it took? A simple install of SpamStopper? I can't believe I've been suffering all this time (not to mention my clients)...

It works EXACTLY as described. I am soooo happy with this program. I'm gonna donate a few bucks to keep them encouraged. If you use this (especially commerically) please help these guys out because it may seem like a simple fix that they came up with, but the results are priceless. We all need them to keep the hits coming!
