The AntiSpam Icon

---

Once installed, the AntiSpam icon  will appear in the system tray at the lower right-hand corner of your Windows display. This is your primary interface for configuring and managing AntiSpam. Right clicking on the icon will bring up several selections. Those are:

 

• About Comodo AntiSpam;
  
  
• Configure AntiSpam;
  
  
• Enable/Disable AntiSpam;
  
  
• Display Authentication Database;
  
  
• Display Quarantine Database;
  
  
• Synchronize Now!;
  
  
• Exit.

The desired option is selected by left clicking on it.

 Selecting Comodo AntiSpam engages the About information screen. This screen displays version and registration information for your copy of From this screen, you can also purchase the fully licensed product.

 Selecting Configure AntiSpam brings up the Main Configuration screen that allows you to simply and completely configure AntiSpam. Once configured, AntiSpam is always there and no further action is required on your part. Each time your computer is shut down and restarted, AntiSpam returns to the same state it had prior to shutdown, providing you with continuous, transparent protection against spam. With AntiSpam installed and configured, your email client operates the same way it always has, but AntiSpam is behind the scenes protecting you from all undesirable senders.

 Selecting Disable AntiSpam disables AntiSpam and allows all email to pass directly to your email program. This includes all quarantined messages. Clicking this selection again re-enables AntiSpam. This selection is a toggle operation between the enabled and disabled states. Once disabled, AntiSpam will stay disabled until re-enabled. 

 Selecting Display Authentication Database brings up the Authentication Database screen. 

 Selecting Display Quarantine Database brings up the Quarantine Database screen. 

 Selecting Synchronize Now! causes your AntiSpam configuration information to be sent to your email server, where it is stored as an email message. This message, when downloaded by another computer having AntiSpam installed, allows transparent spam-protected access to your email and its AntiSpam configuration. This synchronization message on the server also provides backup of your AntiSpam configuration data. If your computer crashes and you have to reinstall the AntiSpam software, the AntiSpam synchronization information will automatically update AntiSpam when you retrieve your email.

 Selecting Exit closes the AntiSpam configuration program (closes the AntiSpam icon) but does not turn off AntiSpam Protection. To turn off AntiSpam Protection, select Disable AntiSpam from the main configuration screen or the AntiSpam Icon.

If you have exited the AntiSpam system tray icon, to re-open the Main Configuration screen again, you must open AntiSpam Configuration from the programs group (Start, Programs, Comodo, Comodo AntiSpam, AntiSpam Configuration). This will also return the AntiSpam system tray icon to the lower right-hand corner of your Windows screen.
