Value 80-90 - e-mail messages likely to be spam will be filtered out. Some non-spam
messages may be incorrectly filtered as well.
Value 60-79 - considered as a quite aggressive configuration. E-mail messages that are
possibly spam will be filtered out. Non-spam messages are likely to be caught as well.
Value 50-59 - very aggressive configuration. Non-spam e-mail messages are as likely to be
caught as real spam messages. This threshold range is not recommended for normal use.
In the Anti-Spam settings dialog you can further define how the detected spam e-mail messages
should be treated:
Move message to the junk folder (Microsoft Outlook plugin only) - mark this checkbox to
specify that each detected spam message should be automatically moved to the specific
junk folder within your MS Outlook e-mail client. At the moment, the feature is not
supported in other mail clients.
Add recipients of sent e-mails to whitelist - tick this checkbox to confirm that all
recipients of sent e-mails can be trusted, and all e-mail messages coming from their e-mail
accounts can be delivered.
Modify subject for messages marked as SPAM - tick this checkbox if you would like all
messages detected as spam to be marked with a specific word or character in the e-mail
subject field; the desired text can be typed in the activated text field.
Ask before reporting wrong detection - provided that during the installation process you
agreed to participate in the Product Improvement Program. If so, you allowed reporting of
detected threats to AVG. The report is made automatically. However, you may tick this
checkbox to confirm you want to be asked before any detected spam gets reported to AVG
to make sure the message should really be classified as spam.

Anti-Spam Training Wizard
The first dialog of the Anti-Spam Training Wizard asks you to select the source of e-mail
messages you want to use for training. Usually, you will want to use either e-mails that have been
incorrectly marked as SPAM, or spam messages that have not been recognized.
