Built-in Virus Protection - Peace of Mind

CBFMail protects you with the most up-to-date and advanced virus detection and removal technologies at every stage of an email/file's life on the CBFMail system. When a new virus is found, CBFMail will be able to detect it and possibly even remove it from infected files. CBFMail's virus detection system is capable of quickly detecting new viruses even if they have only been discovered in the last hour. The scanning engine automatically updates with new virus detection and removal techniques as soon as they are available.

As soon as an email enters the CBFMail system it is automatically scanned for all known viruses. If viruses are found, the email is marked with a transmission warning. When you read the email, CBFMail will notify you which files are infected with viruses, and the names of the viruses. It is then up to you to virus scan the files and possibly remove infected viruses using CBFMail-Scan before you download the files. Please note that infected files are only identified, not cleaned, during transmission.

Before downloading a file from anywhere on the CBFMail system, you will always be given the option to virus scan the file. If you click to download an attachment from an email, choosing virus scan will detect any viruses, and if possible, remove the virus from the file. If CBFMail-Scan has identified a virus and says that the file was cleaned, you can then proceed to download the file without risk of infection. Please note that you must virus scan the file every time you read the email as CBFMail cannot remove viruses from the original mail. Also, you can virus scan all the files in your file manager just as easily. Simply select the files you wish to scan and click the virus scan button. You will be alerted if viruses were found and if they have been cleaned. Once a virus has been cleaned from a file in file manager, you do not have to virus scan the file each time before downloading, as the original file will be cleaned.

It is advised that you always virus scan files before downloading them as new viruses are discovered every hour. What couldn't be detected yesterday might be detected today!

CBFMail-Scan is just one of CBFMail's partly unique and advanced features providing the user with more control and ensuring end user safety. You will always be protected from Internet threats such as hackers, viruses and junk email with CBFMail.
