SPAM and Virus Scanning

Spam and e-mail viruses cost businesses millions in lost revenue and productivity every single year. Spam accounts for around 60% of all e-mail traffic, wasting large quantities of network bandwidth and resources.

Studies have shown that 1 in every 150 email messages sent contains a virus.

Phishing seems all too common place these days and many individuals have been victims of identity theft and more. Hundreds of thousands of people have suffered financial loss due to these fraudulant e-mail attacks.

Comprehensive e-mail security thanks to MailScanner, SpamAssassin, DCC and Vipuls Razor
