Hi John,
We're afraid as the option to filter spam emails are currently unavailable in AVG Internet Security.
Earlier, we had a feature (Antispam) in AVG program, which would filter spam emails & automatically move them to junk in Outlook. This feature was removed, as email providers nowadays provide strong embedded anti-spam filters, we decided to focus our development efforts on adding value in other areas. Recently we introduced new features like Remote Access Shield, Password Protection, improved botnet protection, etc.
However, you can check if the marketing emails has an unsubscribe option in the email & make use of it. Alternately, you can reach out the email client support or browser's support, based on how you access your emails, to check the available options.
Thank you for your understanding in advance!
Same here - thanks again AVG. We are getting over-emails by spammers - is there a work-around - or something else we can do. Very expensive product - "AVG" to not provide some kind of email spam support!!!
I continue to get emails from one or two domains that I have asked to be taken off their mail list. They are still sending me unwanted (thus SPAM) marketing emails.
How do I set up "AVG Internet Security" to bounce their emails back to them or at least prevent me from ever seeing them?

Hello Forrest.
Thank you for contacting AVG Support Community.
We would like to clarify that nowadays most email clients have a built-in Antispam feature so we have removed this feature and concentrated on other valuable features.
If you are receiving more spam emails from one particular sender, you can block that sender so that you will not receive emails from that sender anymore.
If you have any other queries, please feel free to contact us back.
Thank you//

This isn't the experience we want you to have, John.
We’re sorry this update left you frustrated. We strive to provide the best protection possible, and our research and comprehensive review of the feature showed that Anti-Spam wasn’t offering enough value to our customers. We think these new features — along with ongoing improvements to our other many features — provide advanced protection for our customers.
As it isn't recommended to share the product details over this post, we've sent you an email regarding it. Please check & revert to us via email to proceed further.
Oh, wonderful. Another useful feature that went the way of Duplicate File Finder.
I have already tried the 'unsubscribe' option, over a month ago. I have tried sending their 'contact us' page my dissatisfaction with their business model (take heed, AVG)
