New AVG 7.0 Edition Supports Email
AVG Free Edition is the well-known anti-virus protection tool. AVG Free is available free-of-charge to home users for the life of the product!
If you're running an older version (less then the new 7.0 edition) it won't be supported after Dec. 31 which means no more virus definition updates.
The new edition also scans incoming email and offers support for Incredimail, Netscape, Mozilla, Outlook Express and Pegasus. View the Personal E-mail Scanner Guide here.
Here is how it works:
Incoming mail:E-mail client sends request to Personal e-mail scanner to get mail, it receives message from the server and tests it for viruses, removes infected attachments and adds certification. Then the message is passed to the e-mail client.
Outgoing mail:
Message is sent from e-mail client to Personal e-mail scanner, it tests message and its attachments for viruses and then sends the message to the SMTP server.
With past editions I used a little common sense by not opening any attachments from people I don't know, and then saving and scanning ones from people I do know. This new plugin is a welcomed feature. If you haven't read it... you might want to see the FAQ.
How do you check your email attachments for viruses?
