Email worms, viruses, Trojans, web bugs? They can come to you right with HTML-based emails. Viruses can be launched automatically when you simply open or preview the message. Can you afford losing private data, including passwords to your bank account, paypal or ebay, by allowing another tricky virus to get in?
Generic anti-virus software alone can't protect from all threats of HTML and MIME-based email. As a matter of fact, all recent viruses, such as Nimda or Klez successfully broke through antiviral protection, and in many cases users didn't open the attachments, all they did was just they viewed the messages! It has become obvious, that a new approach is required in dealing with HTML email.
And here 1st Email Anti-Virus comes. 1st Email Anti-Virus is an advanced email protection utility that doesn't let viruses to get into your computer by means of email message. The program prevents viruses from being automatically executed and copes with other threats of MIME and HTML-based email. It is compatible with any POP3 email software.
1st Email Anti-Virus is better than any generic anti-virus programs, because it can cope with *any*, even fully unknown, *future* viruses, that may happen to spread in a while. Any conventional anti-virus program uses virus signatures to handle known viruses, or at most, it uses some kind of a pattern to catch unknown viruses that falls into that pattern. 1st Email Anti-Virus uses different approach - it simply destroys the media that is used by the viruses to spread themselves. This way the viruses have no chance to be launched automatically.
The purpose of the program is to prevent viruses from automatic execution on message view. However the best results are achieved if you use both 1st Email Anti-Virus and some anti-virus program.
