CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If you're leery of disclosing your e-mail address when registering at a Web site, this free toolbar that generates fake e-mail addresses may just be the answer. But unless you're fluent in German, you won't get much help from the publisher's Web site.
Spambog.com places a plain, yet functional, toolbar on your browser window. You can access the publisher's Web site through a shortcut button on the toolbar, but most of the Web site is in German, including the FAQ page. Using Spambog.com as the domain, clicking a button on the toolbar creates a new e-mail address that you can use whenever you don't want to use your own e-mail address to register at a Web site. Another shortcut button on the toolbar takes you directly to the publisher's Web site so that you can retrieve any messages sent to your e-mail alias. Luckily, that part of the Web site isn't in German. The program checks e-mail messages for the last address you created, so you'll need to make note of prior e-mail aliases if you want to keep track of messages.
While the lack of a readable help guide certainly didn't score extra points with us, this tool worked well overall and it's simple enough for any level user. This is an effective, free tool for keeping your private e-mail in-box free of spam.
Publisher's description
From Frank Burian :Spambog.com is a free professional Service for disposeable(trash) eMail addresses. This extension generates random disposable email addresses. You can use these email addresses for registration in forums, adult sites, at downloads or whatever. The email addresses don't require any registration. This is an easy way to avoid spam, because the spamers will never get your private email address. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
