Our anti-virus service is run on all attachments using a constantly updated commercial anti-virus engine that we have licensed. It is available at an extra cost, calculated as a percentage of your regular price.
If you are concerned about infected email messages reaching your organization, this is an immensely valuable addition to your SpamStopsHere service configuration.
Signing up for the Anti-Virus add-on service:
- Login to your SpamStopsHere control panel.
- If you have not already signed up for our anti-virus service, there will be a big red bar saying, “Anti-virus is not enabled”. In the green bar just to the right, click “Enable”.
- Read and agree to the terms presented.
- Click on the "Sign Up Now" button to pay for and activate the service.
Configuring the Anti-Virus add-on service for a domain:
- In the Configuration Options page for your domain, click on the "Edit" link next to "Anti-Virus".
- Select the "Enabled" or "Disabled" radio selection button to enable or disable the scanning of attachments for viruses.
- If enabled, make a selection for the minimum characters:
Disable minimum: Disables the minimum character length of virus infected email bodies. You will receive the message no matter how long the body of the message is (not including the virus).
Enable minimum: Enable a minimum character length for virus infected email bodies. You can use this feature to completely block (delete) all email messages if the only thing they contain is the virus. If there is no body to read, and we're deleting the virus, there's really no point in receiving a blank email message. This feature allows you to prevent receiving the blank email messages. You can then specify a minimum length in characters.
- Click on the "Save" button to save the changes.
