Developer's Description

Protect your personal accounts against spam and digital threats.

Combat spam from a new angle with anonymous, disposable e-mail addresses. Anonymizer Nyms shields your real address by creating a unique Nyms e-mail address every time you need to provide an address. When someone sends a message to your Nyms address, it's seamlessly redirected to your designated personal e-mail address. Because Anonymizer Nyms redirects all incoming e-mail to your primary address, it's much easier to manage than creating second, third or fourth e-mail accounts (& then checking multiple e-mail boxes for messages).

Nyms puts you in control of your incoming mail. When (notice we didn't say "if") your Nyms address is shared with spammers, you can simply deactivate that Nyms account and stop the spam from flooding your real in-box. Plus, this enables you to identify exactly where spam is being initiated. Protect your identity & your e-mail address with Anonymizer Nyms.

Version 2.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Not recommend. Good spec. Poor service. Purchasing bad.
crisocoJune 5, 2010
Pros
Good specification. Was impressed with the set up for Yahoo!
Cons
I wanted a few questions answering before I registered and never even got a reply. I think that sums up that support is virtually none existent. Purchasing is directed via Plimus.com which is blocked by my Hosts Manager.
Summary
I never even got as far as trying the product because download.com offer a 30 day trial and this is not available on the vendors web site. There were too many things that just did not seem right to continue so I advise looking elsewhere.
Unreliable support

Pros
I have not concrete evidence that it is reliable
Cons
It can not be use in hotmail or yahoo they both clock your emails
Summary
Poor support, unreliable, never reply to the main question's issues. They take several days to reply to your support questions - unreliable SUPPORT

sadotoferOctober 6, 2007
Pros
It doesn't change nothing in the browser and very easy to use. <p>If it was change the proxy from time to time or even when the user wants, it was great program.
Cons
It use the same proxy all the time and the proxy IP is black listed in many places.
Summary
Fantastico!
Perrito calienteFebruary 25, 2007
Pros
Had it for a week. It disposes of the need to create and manage numerous webmail accounts that you just KNOW are going to get spammed. This is the best antispam solution going. I'll never put a real email addy on the web again (that includes registering here to post my review).
Cons
Doesn't seem to be a way of sending attachments anonymously. Oh, well! There are other ways :)
Summary
Awesome Product!
TamrajhJanuary 15, 2007
Pros
It's nice to use a product that actually does what it says it will! I've been able to register on a few sites already and turn off the addresses once I've gotten the information I wanted. No worries about unsubscribing or selling my address. It's great!
Cons
It was a little confusing at first but once I understood it, I loved it!
Summary
I just wish that this didn't require Windows 2000/XP!
BassPlayersMomDecember 11, 2006
Pros
This looks like an awesome product! Something that I could really use, if only.....
Cons
If only I had a more up to date computer. I'm still running Windows 98. If I could afford to update, then I would deffinetly give this a try. Can you tell me if it might work with 98???
Summary
Cool tool once you get the jist of it
beachn_girlNovember 8, 2006
Pros
I have to say at first I wasn't sure how this would help me but after using it for a few days, I love it! Create individual disposable and ANONYMOUS email addresses for everyone you meet, every site you go to, every form you complete. When someone shares your email address with a spammer, you can nuke that email address and forget about it. Looks like you can use it with all email clients and web email. Just reroutes to your email address.
Cons
It would be cool if there was a way to create the disposable emails automatically when you're filling out forms, like a right-click functionality. But the creation process isn't difficult so it's not a biggie.
