All all emails sent to any of your email addresses set up at your website address will be scanned for any and all known viruses.
Our Anti-Virus software is updated on a daily basis across our network and thus blocks most of the known viruses. Afrihost uses Clam AntiVirus (Clam AV) for all of our anti-virus scanning on your email boxes we host. We are very confident in it's effectiveness and honestly believe it to be the best Anti-virus email scanning software available today.
Here is some recent research conducted on Clam AV and many of the other leading anti-virus products used by other vendors:
Research conducted by Electric Mail on the AV software we use: Electric Mail was one of the first e-mail service providers in 1994 and is now processing more than 10 million e-mail messages daily. They compared Clam AV’s effectiveness in mail filtering with two of the top five antivirus vendors in the world. The research findings clearly illustrated that Clam AV outranked the other two antivirus vendors by a significant margin, being first 77% of the time for the last 50 new virus variants.
Research conducted by "PC WELT.DE" on the AV software we use: The PC WELT site results demonstrated that for one Sober variant, Clam AV had the first patch in place with well-known Symantec releasing a patch a full nine hours later. Most of the other vendors fared better, but were hours behind Clam.
