M a i l S c a n
We recommend program MailScan as antivirus solution for WinProxy. Antivirus control is performed in real-time and that is why WinProxy sends and stores emails into local mail boxes already virus free. Thanks to transparency MailScan can be run together with WinProxy on the same PC without conflicts.
MailScan is world-first antivirus working in network layer, so that it works transparently as a gateway without difficult configuration. It's a stand-alone product with settings, which have no infulence on WinProxy settings.
Program MailScan differs from other antivirus programs by its distictive added value. Besides antivirus control it performs content filtering and mail scanning, which could be greatly appreciated by firm owners. It is possible to automatically scan e-mails content againts special keywords or block e-mails from certain domains (spammers, competitors...).
LAN-PROJEKT is authorized MailScan distributor for both WinProxy users and for users, who will decide to purchase WinProxy in the future. WinProxy users will thus have several advantages (special prices, licence extensions..)
Anti Virus Scanner
MailScan has its' own inbuilt Anti-Virus, 'eScan', which is integrated with
the software in DLL format.
Content Scanning
All incoming and outgoing messages are scanned for abusive words and/or phrases,
which are pre-defined by the Security Policy Administrator of MailScan. If such
words occur, warning messages can optionally be sent to the Administrator, the
sender and the recipient. Global Content-Control policies (pre-defined words
and phrases) are dynamically updated from the Internet at regular intervals,
along with normal Anti-Virus and Policy updates.
Compression
Oversized files are compressed using standard file compressors. MailScan can
be configured to create '.EXE' files or self-extracting zip files that can be
automatically uncompressed at the recipient's machine, even if the recipient
does not have an Unzip Package installed on his machine.
Uncompress Facility
All incoming compressed attachments can be uncompressed, scanned for viruses
and passed to the Mail Server for distribution to the end users.
Virus Scanning
MailScan, scans all incoming and outgoing e-mails for viruses using the 'eScan'
Anti Virus software, developed by MicroWorld. Virus infected attachments are
disinfected and sent to their destination. Non removable virus infected attachments,
are either deleted or quarantined. If MailScan detects a Word or Excel attachment
that contains an infected macro, it removes the virus from the attachment. Clean
Macros are not removed from the document. In case of any virus infection, appropriate
warning messages, with the Virus Name, Action taken and e-mail details, are
sent to the e-mail Sender, the Recipient and the Mail-Server Administrator.
Automatic Updates
MailScan has self-learning and automatic detection capabilities that recognize
the Internet connectivity. When MailScan detects an Internet connection, it
automatically connects to MicroWorld's FTP server to check for and download
Updates. With this feature (that works on dedicated as well as dial-up lines),
all MailScan users across the world receive updates on a regular basis. Both
Attachment filter rules and AntiVirus Updates are downloaded. Automatic updates
can be via FTP or HTTP. Proxy and Firewall (Passive FTP) support is provided.
Broken FTP Updates can be resumed from breakpoint.
Scan Control
Administrators can define a selective list of users whose mails need to be scanned
for any restrictive content, as defined by the Network Administrators. Administrators
can also block certain domains (users cannot send or receive mails from such
pre-defined domains).
Attachment Reservation
Administrator can restrict certain attachments from being sent or received from
the Internet. For example, a rule can be defined so that any e-mail received
by a user having *.EXE or *.COM file attachments, should be auto-forwarded to
the administrator. Unknown viruses can be very effectively tackled using such
rule-sets.
Policy based Rule-Sets
MailScan works on policy-based Rule-Sets. Rule-Sets have been categorized as
Universal and Company-specific. A Universal Rule-Set is defined by MicroWorld
and is applicable to all the customers. Company-specific Rule-Sets are configured
by the Network Administrators and are specific to a company.
Customized Messages
Customized Virus Warning, Content Warning and Reserved Attachments Warning can
be sent to the Administrator, the sender and the recipient. Warning messages
can be in text or HTML. They can be in English or any other language.
Forcibly Scan HTML Messages
It forcibly scans HTML messages (not having attachments), to prevent script
viruses (like Bubble-boy) from entering your network.
Malicious Attachments Deletion
Provides an option to forcibly delete known malicious attachments (Trojans and
worms) at the gateway level itself. This list is dynamically updated from the
Internet at regular intervals, along with normal Anti-Virus and Policy updates.
S/MIME Check of Messages
MailScan has the capability to check if an e-mail is digitally signed (S/MIME)
and warn the user if the content gets changed.
MailScan works like a Service
It can be installed as a System-Service on Windows 95/98/ME and Windows NT/2000.
Heuristic Scanning
MailScan's heuristics scanning feature ensures that 90% of unknown viruses are
automatically detected, much before the world even gets to know about these
viruses. Unknown virus infected files display suscipious behavior. Such files
and attachments are detected by MailScan's heuristics engine and are quarantined
to a safe directory.
Easy and convenient Administration
MailScan provides a very easy and convenient way of administrating Rule-Sets
and Security Policies. Users can install MailScan and use the default settings.
All threats, updates, security policies and rule-sets are "automatically
updated" from the Internet, without any user-intervention.
Get Up-to-date names of Viruses via e-mail
Whenever MailScan automatically downloads updates, the administrator is informed
by e-mail about the time and date of update, number of files downloaded and
also a list of viruses that the update cleans. Virus policy updates are done
on a daily basis.
Extensive Logs
Every action of MailScan is properly logged. The administrator can control size
of Log files and create backups of old Log Files.
Licence policy of MailScan is different from WinProxy. Price of MailScan is based on number of WinProxy local mail boxes. Price is then made according to No. of mailboxes and different ranges (1 - 5 mail boxex, 6 - 10 mail boxes atd.). Price for one user is lower when version for more users is selected.
