Benefits
Email Scanning
VirusScan now automatically scans inbound (POP3) and outbound (SMTP)
email and email attachments for most popular email clients, including
Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, Eudora, Pegasus, and
others. Email scanning provides a first line of defense from inbound
threats before they arrive in your email inbox, and from outbound virus
proliferation. Email scanning ensures that your computer_s inbox is virus-free.
Instant Message Scanning
VirusScan now scans instant messages and attachments sent through instant
messaging clients including AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and
Windows Messenger.
ScriptStopper™
Many of the fastest spreading viruses, like I Love You, use scripts to
infect your PC. ScriptStopper detects new malicious threats and stops
them from infecting your PC. ScriptStopper alerts you of the attempted
activity and will stop actions that are initiated on your computer without
your knowledge. ScriptStopper detects, alerts, and stops malicious script
actions to keep your computer safe from scripts involved in virus activity
providing an extra layer of security for your PC.
WormStopper™
The majority of new viruses spread through email. WormStopper stops new
mass-mailing worms by detecting activity that may indicate a new, undetected
worm is active on your PC. WormStopper detects the sending of email to
more than 40 recipients, sending more than 5 emails in less than 30 seconds,
and also checks for repetitive email content. WormStopper ensures that
a new undetected mass-mailing worm cannot spread using your computer
providing an additional security layer for your PC.
