We are proud to announce that we have partnered with Postini and McAfee
Anti-Virus to offer virus protection on email before it reaches your mailbox.
Virus Protection
All of your messages are scanned for viruses. If a virus is detected, it is
quarantined in your Message Center and you will be sent an email notification.
You can turn virus protection ON or OFF. Postini recommends having virus
protection always turned on for safety.
Is Virus Assistant up-to-date on its virus definitions?
Yes. Virus Assistant updates virus definitions continuously. Not only will virus
scanning of malicious email viruses prove extremely valuable to you, but it also
saves valuable time by scanning messages behind the scenes. You are only
notified when a virus is found in a message. Virus Assistant utilizes McAfee's
AVERT (Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team) to stay current with virus
definitions. AVERT is a worldwide virus-monitoring network that continuously
looks for new viruses and subtle changes in old ones so that virus definitions
stay current.
Who is McAfee?
McAfee provides industry-leading protection against today's most dangerous
viruses and tomorrow's threats. McAfee and your service provider made this
possible by inserting virus-scanning technology into your mail flow. This
relieves email providers and you from maintaining individually installed virus
detection and the hassle of maintaining current virus definitions.
Does it cost to repair my infected email?
Based on the email service provider's arrangement, disinfection of infected
messages may or may not be freely available.
Is McAfee desktop software available for my PC as well?
Yes, you can purchase desktop virus protection software from McAfee. Visit
McAfee at www.mcafee.com for more info.
How am I notified that virus-infected email has been
detected?
You are notified immediately via email when an infected virus is detected in an
email message. From the Message Center, you can safely review the infected email
text.
This service is available for $19.99/year.
