Question
Does System Mechanic or any of its bundled components include a spam-blocking feature?
Answer
No, System Mechanic does not include a spam-blocking feature. This function can usually be accomplished by configuring folder rules for your current e-mail application to automatically place certain types of messages in pre-defined folders such as "Junk" or "Spam" folders. Almost all e-mail clients now come with this type of functionality and have tutorials covering how to implement this added security.
Additional Comments
If you are using System Mechanic Professional's antivirus component, you do have some added functionality when it comes to blocking harmful e-mail messages. Every incoming/outgoing message is automatically saved in a database after you have received or sent it using your e-mail client. These databases are scanned during a full scan of your computer. In real-time protection mode, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all incoming and outgoing e-mail messages for viruses as they are being sent and received.
