I have never used any, and I've been asked to install one at the office, did any of you used a good spam killer?
if so, please post the product name, or a link to it here, thanks.

I have used the tools in outlook express to kill spam from several sources with the version in XP. There are options under tools that let you set rules for what mail you will accept and what to do with the mail that does not fit those rules. So far it works well for me and has cut the spam down to one or 2 a week now instead of about 10 a day.

I don't know if this will work for you.

Trainable Bayesian filter with advanced Outlook anf Pegasus integration, plus works with any other mail client because it transparently proxies POP.

Neat feature, it trains itself off your outgoing mail too to cut false positives dramatically.

Thanks Chairboy, that's what i'm looking for i think. I needed to find something i could install... and leave. Rules work fine for me too, but the people from the office I need to install this for are not puter saavy, and I won't be there forever.

Cloudmark's Spamnet is a great program.  More than 50,000 emails have been eliminated in just 6 months of home use of Outlook.  I can count less than one dozen incorrectly marked emails during that time.  They were all easily retrieved and marked as "ok" for future receipt.  Highly recommended.
