Viruses often spread via email, therefore it is important to virus-scan emails before they arrive to the mail-client of a user. SpamExperts actively blocks both spam AND viruses.
Due to the fact that viruses generally try to spread as spam emails, the majority of email viruses are already blocked before they are scanned with our antivirus engine, because of our antispam technologies. Thanks to this resource efficient and intuitive setup, even viruses not yet known to virus scanners are generally, safely put away in quarantine or rejected outright.
As an additional measure, we run the open-source ClamAV antivirus framework, whose virus definitions are updated every 30 minutes. Besides using the ClamAV databases, we have also added more datasets specialized in email virus problems, provided by several external partners, to ensure real-time, optimal protection against the latest virus outbreaks. Our internal reputation systems also contribute to virus scanning and ensure optimal protection against not only spam, but also malware, phishing, and viruses.
