Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Broderbund's Email Watchdog is a comprehensive e-mail virus protection program that protects your e-mail client by scanning messages and attachments before they make it to your inbox. Email Watchdog also scans outgoing e-mails, preventing the spread of destructive viruses. This flexible protection system lets you decide what level of protection you want and guides you in handling suspicious files. Plus, Email Watchdog doesn't rely on signature files, meaning you always have the most current level of protection--no updates or configuration required.

Easy to install and operate, Email Watchdog detects viruses, Trojans, worms, malicious ActiveX controls, and Java applets, letting you catch viruses in your e-mail before they're opened. Repair common virus infections automatically, as well as quarantine infected and suspicious files for added security. With Email Watchdog installed, you can choose between basic and advanced settings, select which file extensions to scan, and more. Best of all, you won't have to interrupt your work.

Broderbund Email Watchdog supports Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Mail, and Pegasus. It also protects any POP3, SMTP, or IMAP e-mail account. Take note that Email Watchdog does not support Web-based e-mail accounts, such as AOL Mail, Yahoo!, and Hotmail. It also does not work with newsgroups (NNTP mail protocol), Microsoft Exchange clients/servers, and Lotus Notes.
