Introduction
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet Gateways can be deployed transparently
to end-users. Since all HTTP and FTP-over-HTTP requests and
downloads pass through the proxy server, F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet
Gateways provides effective access control and protection against
viruses and malicious content.
1.2.2
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet Mail
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet Mail operates as a mail gateway that
accepts incoming and outgoing e-mails, processes mail bodies and
attachments and delivers processed e-mail messages to the designated
SMTP server for further processing and delivery.
Content
Blocking
When F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet Mail receives an e-mail message
from an Internet or internal network source, it extracts all dangerous
objects such as attached files and embedded OLE objects, and blocks
them immediately. For example, attachments can be stripped from e-mail
messages by their filenames or extensions, and messages that contain
malformed or suspicious headers can be blocked. After F-Secure
Anti-Virus for Internet Mail has checked e-mail messages for disallowed
content, it scans the mail message body and attachments for viruses and
other malicious code.
Virus and Spam
Outbreak Detection
Massive spam and virus outbreaks consist of millions of messages which
share at least one identifiable pattern that can be used to distinguish the
outbreak. Any message that contains one or more of these patterns can
be assumed to be a part of the same spam or virus outbreak.
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Internet Mail can identify these patterns from the
message envelope, headers and body, in any language, message format
and encoding type. It can detect spam messages and new viruses during
the first minutes of the outbreak.
Spam
Control
F-Secure Spam Control is a separate product component that uses
heuristic spam analysis to filter inbound mails for spam, which supports
DNS Blackhole List (DNSBL) functionality.
