anti-virus filtering system rolled out

June 18, 2004

Internet spam and viruses are getting more commonplace with each passing day. Despite this growing threat, many end-users donít have anti-virus software. Even of those that do, many of them donít renew their subscriptions to keep it up-to-date.

To help combat this problem a system has been set in place that scans all incoming and outgoing email for viruses. The system is powered by McAfee VirusScan and F-Secureís F-Prot. The server downloads new virus definitions updates from both companies.

In addition to this protection itís recommended that you purchase or download a free anti-virus scanner to run on your own computer. For those of you already owning anti-virus software make sure itís up-to-date. The threat posed to you via email has greatly been lessened by Webstrikerís new service, however you are still prone to viruses that come through other means.
