For years we have avoided posting banner ads or doing anything else that would smack of hucksterism. We are professional investigators and have no need to sell the products or services of others. Yet we are also consumers and like many others try products and are either satisfied or dissatisfied.

Not only do we buy and use commonly used products, such as Microsoft Office or Windows, we also purchase an inordinately large number of smaller items designed to enhance performance or protect us from the the myriad of hazards and annoyances one encounters on the internet.

We are not computer experts! On the contrary, we are end-users who have gotten stuck with products designed to protect us from things like "pop up ads", attacks by hackers, spam e-mail, etc. As I say, most of the time we are either satisfied or dissatisfied with the software products we buy over the internet. . Some of the time the product works great but there are side effects. For example, the product slows the computer down. Or in other cases the product works fine but it is just too time consuming or troublesome to use. In some cases we have not been able to get the product to perform and have not been able to get anyone to tell us how to make it work. In some cases, I am convinced that  the product never did work.

I can't recall how many of these security related software products we have purchased, installed, used and then just uninstalled because they caused more problems than they solved.

Like many of you, I have been harassed , and my valuable time stolen by spam e-mail -- junk mail that I find both offensive and annoying. In my search to find a product that really works, I came across "Mail Wiper". I can't tell you how delighted I am with its performance! They say that we Americans want instant gratification. "Mail Wiper" does this that -- it gives the user instant gratification!  I use Microsoft Outlook to handle my e-mail. After installing "Mail Wiper" I called up my e-mail. 39 messages came into my "In Box". Within seconds "Mail Wiper" took over, and dumped 38 of the 39 messages into a special screening area from which it automatically conducts additional tests to sort out junk mail from the mail I really want to read. As you can see, out of the 39 messages I would have had to go through, only one was important to me. That message was left in my inbox for examination at my leisure. I won't go into how "Mail Wiper" makes certain that it does not throw away non-spam, but it does and I'm confident that I don't have to worry about the baby being thrown away with the bath water.

I felt so elated about about my good fortune in finding "Mail Wiper", that I decided to set up this section on my web site and put our reputation for honesty and integrity behind it. Now that this page is in place, we may post future software security ads, if so they will have to leap high to meet the standard set by "Mail Wiper".
