What is a Email Virus Protection?


A Virus Protection module scans your e-mails before they reach your inbox. Known
viruses are filtered out known viruses and infected files are cleaned. E-mail
attachments are scanned for viruses, worms and Trojan horses. Script-based
components, such as Java and ActiveX are also scanned for known pests.

1&1 uses Symantec CarrierScan Servers in our Data Centers, so new virus
definition files and remedies are available to us within few hours via Symantec's
LiveUpdate.

Use our Virus list to see which viruses are currently known and can be filtered.
