1st Email Anti-Virus is a program designed for discreet users who appreciate data integrity and privacy. It is the only
POP3-compatible content-filtering security software that copes with all threats of modern email messages and does this better than conventional antivirus programs. The program defends from any known attacks on HTML or MIME emails used by viruses (such as Klez or Nimda) to spread themselves, preventing them from being executed and re-distributed automatically. Those attacks include: Iframe attacks (used by Klez), Script attacks (JavaScript, VBScript), Embedded objects and plug-ins (ActiveX, Java, Flash attacks). 1st Email Anti-Virus has full logging capabilities: can save original messages and log protocol commands. It is compatible with signed or encrypted messages (S/MIME). The program has an ability to enforce plain text and thus it is suitable for those who use old plain text email software or those who dislike HTML email.
1st Email Anti-Virus has account Wizard for MS Outlook and Outlook Express. It permits automatic setup if you use these email clients and defends user privacy with the ability to remove inline downloads ("web bugs"). The program works transparently with any POP3 compatible email program, such as MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape. It supports several email clients and accounts at the same time. 1st Email Anti-Virus keeps the readability of the message and retains all information sent. It can tipycally decrease the size of the message, thus minimizing the storage requirements. The program retrieves and handles oversize message without blocking, thus defending from denial-of-service attacks (mail bombing). If you use web email account and your service provider permits to download messages via POP3 protocol to your desktop email program, like yahoo.com does, then you can use the program in conjunction with your web based email account and the email client software.
