Installation Guide for DAAV SASBE 1.050 on Windows Mobile
Attention
Currently, our DAAV SMS Anti-Spammer Basic Edition products target only the local market in Mainland China, thus the software only filters effectively text messages in Simplified Chinese. However, it does not affect your normal use of sms by installing our software even if the main language used in your text messages is not Simplified Chinese. Messages in English/French/German/else or even Traditional Chinese will most probably simply be let through, as with high possibility they will be computed to be legitimate.
If you are interested in a non-Simplified-Chinese anti-spam solution for mobile phones, please feel free to contact us and let us discuss and determine how to cooperate and proceed on a case by case basis.
This guide applies to the 1.05x versions, among which we have only publicly released version 1.050.
Installation
Step-by-step installation of the DAAV SMS Anti-Spammer Basic Edition on a Windows Mobile 6 Standard (aka WM6 SmartPhone) phone. The installation guide in Chinese takes Windows Mobile 6 Professional (aka WM6 PocketPC) as the example for illustration.
- Find the installer package (DAAV.PIA.SMS.Anti-Spammer.Basic.Edition.Release-1.050L-Build20100201Mon.CAB in this example) on your phone using the File Explorer. Note, if your phone is a Windows Mobile 5 SmartPhone, you need to get and install a 3rd-party File Explorer on your phone first.
- Click the big square button under the screen, the installation process begins.
- Terms of the license are shown. You can use up/down key to scroll the dialog window. Click "I Accept" to continue or "I decline" to quit.
- If continue, the phone system performs the installing task. You can see the progress bar.
- The installer shows you some post-installation reminder information. Use your phone keypad to scroll up/down. It reminds you that, if the system environment is not clean at the time of installation, say the system registry was messed up, the software may not immediately take effect after installation. Then it is recommended to reboot the device at this time.
- Normally everything should be OK, so we choose "No" to skip the reboot.
- Installation done.
Test
Now let's send a simple "Hello" sms to the phone with the installed DAAV SMS Anti-Spammer Basic Edition.
- After a while, a screen of version information is shown, demonstrating that the software runs well in the background. This screen of version information won't appear again before you reboot your device, namely, it only appears at the first receival of an sms (no matter spamming or legitimate) after installation.
- We simply press "OK" to dismiss it. And we can see, as usual, a small icon of envelope appears at the topleft corner of the screen, indicating the arrival of a text message (remember its content is just "Hello", and it is computed to be legitimate by our DAAV SMS Anti-Spammer Basic Edition installed just now).
What if we now send a spamming sms to the phone? To demonstrate the effect, let us first have a look at the sms folder structure before the installation of the software. Going through the following menu:
We have the screen snapshot of the sms folder structure captured and saved before the installation as follows:
Now we send to this phone a spamming message. The original message is a scam one in Simplified Chinese asking people to wire money directly to a given bank card number. We now send only the bank card number to this test phone since it is running Windows Mobile English and does not recognize or process properly Simplified Chinese characters. Guess what? The message is intercepted, correctly identified as spam, and put silently into a newly created "Spam" sms folder. The folder is exactly created by our software when it computes an incoming message to be spam and hence puts the message into this "Spam" folder.
Enter the folder and open the received sms, we see its content - the scam bank card number. The sms folder name "Spam" is also shown in the window title bar.
Please note that the "Spam" sms folder is nothing different from other sms folders such as "Inbox" and "Outbox". You can use menus to move messages between "Spam" and "Inbox" in the same usual way, you can reply or forward messages in "Spam", etc. The only difference is that it is being taken special care of by the installed DAAV SMS Anti-Spammer Basic Edition software.
