Virus ProtectionApproximately 2% of all incoming email messages are viruses. Our hosted email leads the industry with strong server-level virus detection, including the use of two different anti-virus products and fast updates to virus signatures. The anti-virus process begins with several important pre-scanning stages, followed by two virus scanning stages and ending with virus notifications and detailed statistics provided to the customer. EffectivenessMore than 100,000 virus-infected emails are blocked by our hosting system every day. And during new virus outbreaks this number can spike to over 1 million per day. The virus scanning system has been designed to handle these extreme spikes for extended periods of time, scanning every single email without mail delivery delays. |
