Spam Slicer start-up takes about 10 to 15 minutes for most people to understand and set up in three easy steps.

1. Sign up for the Spam Slicer service that fits you: Home, Family Pack or Small Business Editions.

2. Turn on lockdown (if required).
If you're using Spam Slicer with an existing, spam laden email account, turn on the "lockdown.". We have customized several different lockdown mechanisms that work with your ISP and/or email software to block senders that aren't in your address book if they don't go through Spam Slicer. If you're using Spam Slicer as a preventative tool, you may even be able to delay turning on the lockdown.

3. Set up your ISP or email software.
Once registered, you'll find set-up instructions for your favorite email service or software, including AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo!Mail, Outlook Express, Outlook and Mac Mail. If your ISP or email software supports message rules, it probably supports Spam Slicer.

To perform steps 2 and 3, simply login to the Spam Slicer account you created in step 1. You don't even need to download any software.
