Email Virus Scanning

Bluespine is able to provide remote industry-leading virus scanning for e-mail messages. Our automatic service scans all e-mail messages at the server level, i.e. before e-mail is downloaded to your systems and is seamless to the user. This way the virus never gets near to your business critical data.

If a user should receive a message containing a virus, they are simply sent a generic notification and the message is placed in a quarantine area for inspection later.
Viruses are kept well away from your network, so no inadvertent clicks of the mouse can accidentally open an offending file.

A virus can spread via e-mail messages extremely quickly. In May 2000, a virus called "Loveletter" spread to thousands of users world-wide in a matter of hours. E-mail borne viruses are becoming an increasing problem and in 2001 Industry sources predict a rise by 234% of virus interceptions and email use to grow by 124%.

The Virus scanning software is provided by McAfee, a worldwide leader in virus scanning technology. Our system automatically updates in real-time with the latest virus definitions supplied by the McAfee research centre.

The service is supplied at excellent value for money and once installed on a domain name, all messages sent to that domain are protected. For example, if you purchase virus scanning on myname.com then any e-mail address @myname.com will be protected, e.g.: John@myname.com or Alex@myname.com.
