Symantech's spammfilter is best !!!!!
 
I just need to say this:

Get Symantech's Spammfilter for outlook.
It's in their Security program and it's just great.

If I get 500 e-mails the filter delete 300 of them and
not one single Valid e-mail has been deleted.
Also the standard Spamassasin on a server, if you
have it turn it on - it's great. Reduces the spamm
with another 100 mails.

So now I'm in paradise, only have 100 mails to
read each day and 60 of them I delete since it's
spamm that came through.

Ok, thanks, just had to tell someone.

Let me see if I understood you right.
You got 360 spams. Their filter detected
300 of those spams, or 83%, and let 17% though?
If that impresses you, take a look at one of the Bayesian filters.
There are several free ones and commercial ones.
Using Bayesian filtering, I get about a 98.6% detection rate,
so my filter would miss 5 out of 360 spams rather than 60.
So far I've had one false positive (out of roughly 20,000 emails).
That false positive was a hotmail using who wrote the message
in all caps, used a lot of cuss words, and wasn't talking about business.
(With bayesian filtering, the filter learns which words indicate
a legit email, so if they mentioned words that my legit emails
have in them, like "script", "security", or even
"GFY" the filter would factor that word in, suggesting that
it may be a legit email.
