Protection of e-mail
E-mail remains one the most efficient ways to deliver malware to a computer. SpIDer Mail® will protect your system against cyber-evil and will scan mail traffic “on the fly” to make sure you get only clean messages free of malicious code or infected attachments.
- SpIDer Mail doesn’t depend on an e-mail client and won’t delay receipt of e-mail.
- It supports SMTP/POP3/NNTP/IMAP4 mail protocols
- Individual rules can be created for different types of malicious programs – viruses, riskware, adware, hack tools, paid dialers and jokers.
- The Virus activity control feature protects a system against mass mailings performed by mail worms. SpIDer Mail examines components of a message and considers sending time in order to determine if an outgoing message is a part of malicious activities in a system.
