Image recognition (GSG technology). GSG technology to detect graphic spam.
Analysis of attachments in RTF format. Anti-Spam analyzes documents attached to messages checking them for spam signs.
Self-training text recognition algorithm (iBayes). iBayes algorithm detects whether a message belongs to useful mail or spam based on the frequency of words typical of spam in its text. You should train the iBayes algorithm before you use it.
Kaspersky Lab specialists distinguish three security levels:
High. This security level should be used if you receive spam frequently; for example, while using free mail services. When you select this level, the frequency of false positives rises: that is, useful mail is more often recognized as spam. When analyzing a message for spam the Anti-Spam component calculates the potential rating:
If the rating exceeds 50 but does not reach 80, the message is considered to be potential spam.
If the rating exceeds 80, then such message is labeled as spam. On this security level attachments in .rtf format are also analyzed, i.e. Anti-Spam additionally analyzes files attached to the messages for the spam presence.
Recommended. This security level should be used in most cases. When analyzing a message for spam the Anti-Spam component calculates the potential rating:
If the rating exceeds 60 but does not reach 90, the message is considered to be potential spam.
If the rating exceeds 90, then such message is labeled as spam.
Low. This security level should be used if you rarely receive spam, for example, if you are working in a protected corporate email environment. When this level is selected, spam and potential spam messages are less frequently recognized. When analyzing a message for spam the Anti-Spam component calculates the potential rating:
If the rating exceeds 80 but does not reach 90, the message is considered to be potential spam.
If the rating exceeds 99 out of 100, then such message is labeled as spam.
