ZERGE.COM today released a web-master tool for user-friendly web forms protection against spam bots. Entitled ?Web Form Anti-Spam,? the product is available for Windows 2000 and newer, and can be purchased via download from www.webformantispam.com for $US39.90. 15-day trial version is free, but places trial notes into protected code.
The utility takes web form HTML code and converts it into JavaScript tag, containing unreadable text. When displayed by an Internet browser, the script enclosed inside the tag, decodes original HTML code, so the browser will show a normal web form, making protection transparent for the visitors.
Many sites having forums, are suffering from spam bots ? special programs, automatically surfing the web and filling web forms with spam. Such bots will be unable to analyze, parse and process a form described by a script tag having encoded contents.

Nevertheless, the problem is in that the one, who wants to drop a line in a forum, or to comment an article, must do excess and unnecessary actions for solving issues of the web site owner solely. The transparency of the alternative solution is makes it user-friendly.

Web Form Anti-Spam is suitable not only for web form protection. It is capable of protecting various parts of HTML code, including e-mail links. Encoding ?mailto:? hyperlinks will make e-mail addresses invisible for harvesting bots.
