Virus Checking with Multiple Scanning Engines
GFI MailSecurity uses multiple anti-virus engines to scan inbound email. Using multiple scanners drastically reduces the average time required to obtain the latest virus signature, which means we're quicker to help you to combat the latest threats. The single engine approach will never be fast enough to respond in today's world. Each anti-virus software engine has a different response time to each new virus, depending on where the virus was discovered, and other factors. By using multiple anti-virus engines, we give you a much better chance of having the right software, at the right moment, to combat the latest attack. Since each engine has its own heuristics and detection methods, each one brings its own strength to your email environment for detecting a particular virus and its variants. Multiple anti-virus engines means better virus protection. GFI MailSecurity give you better virus protection.

Scan for Trojans and Malicious Executables
The GFI MailSecurity Trojan & Executable scanner detects unknown malicious executables by analyzing what an executable does. A trojan (or malicious executable) is software that enters the victim’s computer undetected, granting an attacker unrestricted access to the data stored there. Anti-virus software will not catch trojans (they are not signature based). The Trojan & Executable Scanner takes the approach of using built-in intelligence to rate an executable's risk level. It does this by disassembling the executable, detecting in real time what it might do and comparing its actions to a database of malicious actions. The scanner then quarantines any executables that perform suspicious activities, such as accessing a modem, making network connections or accessing the address book.

Norman Virus Control & BitDefender Included
GFI MailSecurity is bundled with Norman Virus Control and BitDefender. Norman Virus Control is an industrial strength anti-virus engine that has received the 100% Virus Bulletin award 32 times running. BitDefender is a very fast and flexible anti-virus engine that excels in the number of formats it can recognize and scan. BitDefender is ICSA certified and has won the 100% Virus Bulletin award and the European Information Technologies Prize 2002. GFI MailSecurity automatically checks and updates the Norman Virus Control and BitDefender definition files as they become available. The GFI MailSecurity price includes updates for one year.

Kaspersky, McAfee and AVG (optional)
To achieve even greater security, you can add the Kaspersky, McAfee and/or AVG anti-virus engines as a third, fourth or fifth anti-virus engine or as a replacement to one of the other engines. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is ICSA-certified and is well known for the unsurpassed depth of its object scanning; for the high rate at which new virus signatures are released; and for its unique heuristic technology effectively neutralizing unknown viruses. Another engine, McAfee, is particularly strong at detecting non-virus attacks such as rogue ActiveX controls. You can also get AVG from GRISOFT. With 15 years of experience in the anti-virus industry, GRISOFT employs some of world's leading experts in anti-virus software, specifically in the areas of virus analysis and detection.

Automatic Removal of HTML Scripts
The advent of HTML email has made it possible for hackers and virus attackers to trigger commands by embedding them in the HTML. GFI MailSecurity checks for script code in the body of an email message disabling these commands before sending the cleaned email on. GFI MailSecurity is the only product to protect you from malicious HTML email using our patented process. We safeguard you from HTML viruses and attacks launched via HTML email.

Email Exploit Detection Engine
GFI's Email Exploit Engine builds on our leading-edge research into email exploits, safeguarding you from any email virus or attack that uses known application or operating system exploits. We would have protected you against the Nimda and Klez viruses when they first emerged, without requiring an update, because they used known exploits. GFI SecurityLabs regularly finds new email exploits, which are automatically downloaded by GFI MailSecurity. GFI MailSecurity is the only email security product to detect email exploits.

Spyware Detection
GFI MailSecurity's Trojan & Executable Scanner can recognize malicious files including spyware and adware. GFI MailSecurity can also detect spyware transmitted by email with the Kaspersky anti-virus engine (optional) which incorporates a dedicated spyware and adware definition file that has an extensive database of known spyware, trojans and adware.

Attachment Checking
GFI MailSecurity's attachment checking rules enable administrators to quarantine attachments based on user and file type. For example, all executable attachments can be quarantined for administrator review before they are distributed to the user. GFI MailSecurity will scan for information leaks such as an employee emailing a database. You can also choose to delete attachments like .mp3 or .mpg files.

Granular User-based Email Content Policy Enforcement
Using GFI MailSecurity's powerful content policy rules engine, you can configure for policy rules based on user and keywords. We not only help you to quarantine potentially dangerous material for administrator approval, but also help you to scan for offensive content.

Custom Quarantine Filters
GFI MailSecurity enables you to configure a series of search folders (similar to MS Outlook) within the ‘Quarantine Store’; permitting you to manage quarantined emails better and faster. For example, you can set up a folder for emails that were quarantined by virus checking and another for emails quarantined by attachment checking for a particular user; allowing you to prioritize. For example it may be more important in your environment to examine the attachment checking folder first allowing you to quickly approve and forward those emails that are appropriate.

Easy Quarantine Folder Monitoring through RSS feeds
GFI MailSecurity takes advantage of the power of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds to simplify your work as an administrator in keeping an eye on your email quarantine store. Through RSS feeds, you will be informed of all new quarantined objects; eliminating the need to log onto the quarantine store to check for new updates manually.

Web-based Configuration for Remote Management
Our web-based configuration allows you to configure and monitor the product as well as to manage quarantined emails remotely from any computer with a browser. That means that you can monitor and manage GFI MailSecurity from anywhere in the world.

Dispatch Quarantined Email using Powerful Moderator Interface
GFI MailSecurity provides several options for moderating quarantined email. Our moderator client software gives you a familiar Windows interface for approving and rejecting email. The web-based moderator allows you to approve and reject emails from anywhere on your network. We will also forward quarantined emails to an email address of your choosing; enabling you to use a public folder to distribute the work of accepting and rejecting email to multiple administrators.

Search inside of Quarantined Emails
GFI MailSecurity lets you conduct searches within quarantined email in a number of useful ways. For example, you can search among in or outbound email to or from a particular user. Searches can be carried out based on sender, recipient, the reason for quarantine and more, freeing the administrator from the tedious task of sifting through a folder full of email, one-by-one.

Full Threat Reporting for Quarantined Emails
When an email is quarantined GFI MailSecurity gives a full report detailing all threats identified per email.

Server-based Anti-spam
