Which used to be InoculateIT Personal Edition, until Computer Associates decided that there was too much demand for the package to let it go for free. Given some of what I've seen wrt bandwidth costs and increasing numbers of viruses, I can't say I blame them.
It's a pretty good package- no explicit support for email scanning, but (as a dialup ISP tech support peon) I've seen far too many cases of a number of packages' email scanning rolling over and dying. (Norton in particular, but we've seen trouble from others.)
If you save an infected attachment, it'll notice (if you have it set up to do so). If you auto-open (ugh) an infected attachment, it'll notice that a virus has become active- and, so far, kill it before it gets very far.
Like any other package, the big requirement for usefulness is to KEEP IT UP TO DATE! |
