If, after trying Cloudmark Desktop, you decide to keep it, then you can subscribe to Cloudmark's network. The network consists of other users like yourself, all filtering their email to reduce spam and phishing. Whenever a spam message is detected on its way to your mailbox, information about the message is sent to the Cloudmark network, where it is used to block similar messages. By participating in this network, you help prevent spam and phishing throughout the network.
