VirusBuster Mail Server Security

The VirusBuster Scanners are sometimes the only solution for a critical problem. Because of its size and the several supported platforms, the command line scanner is a truly effective tool for finding and removing virus infections.

Their main task is to find virus infections on the data storage systems and other areas and if possible remove them. The programs can be loaded from the command line and its operation can be adjusted with aid of parameters.

Incremental virus database update
Using the incremental update mechanism the download time is reduced to a minimal level so we can release additional virus database packages several times a day to improve the defence. Users can obtain protection against new malware without spending long time and generating considerable network load for the update.

Outstanding performance
The program's simple and logical architecture and the VirusBuster scan engine guarantee the highest possible performance for every virus scan.

Heuristics scanning levels
Using the heuristics the software tries to detect codes and programs, which have virus-like characteristics but are not registered in the virus database. If such a suspicious file is found, the user is notified.

Multi-thread scanning
The multi-thread operation provides faster scanning using parallel processing. It results in better performance, shorter scanning time.

Configuration file
It is possible to store the general settings in a configuration file so there is no need to specify the scanning parameters to each scanning.

Several supported platforms
The program supports several platforms providing a reliable platform-independent protection.

The product is available with scandaemon support as well.
Check the name of the package: vbscand means the scandaemon version, vbscan means the regular version.

Post Office protection
The Post Office protection module provides off-line virus protection for post offices found in the system.

Internet Agent protection
The product protects your system by working in the background and scanning every e-mail before they are delivered to users' mailboxes by creating a filter on Groupwise Internet Agent's mail traffic.

Integrated solution
The product integrates to VirusBuster for Novell Netware and uses its central logging to store its own log entries therefore the status of the whole defense module can be overviewed in one place.

Wide variety of options
The product not only lets you scan in attachments, but with the help of the permissive and exclusive file filter, specified file types can be blocked, therefore potential virus carriers can be locked out of the network. The WormBuster feature is included in the product to provide the option of blocking all I-Worms instantly. As the product block the whole e-mail, the e-mail traffic is not increased by messages, which only contain worms and do not have a useful content.

Spam filter
The spam filter, which uses heuristic recognition as well, saves money and time for your company. Filtering spam e-mail not only decreases the load on your mail server, but saves the time, which is spent by employees, who are trying to get rid of the unsolicited e-mail messages.

Outstanding performance and effectiveness
The product is based on VirusBuster's scan engine, which has an outstanding performance. The engine uses heuristic analysis to detect harmful programs. Thanks to its platform- and operating system independent scanning methods it effectively scans for all known viruses, and malicious codes.

The product provides Sendmail, Qmail, Linux GroupWise and Courier mail servers with virus and spam protection. The solution integrating to the mail server scans all the mails to be delivered and their attachments and ensures comprehensive protection against viruses, malicious codes and unsolicited mails.

Incremental virus database update
Using the incremental update mechanism the download time is reduced to a minimal level so we can release additional virus database packages several times a day to improve the defence. Users can obtain protection against new malware without spending long time and generating considerable network load for the update.

Comprehensive protection
Provides comprehensive protection for mail servers combining new features of Zero Hour Virus Protection and Extended Spam Protection RPD technologies.

RPD technology - instant protection
Zero Hour Virus Protection and Extended Spam Protection modules based on the RPD technology don't need a virus or spam database to detect malwares delivered by e-mail, but they detect the attacking/spreading wave itself connecting and communicating permanently to a central server. These filters are able to reveal the virus or spam mail attacks some minutes after they have been started and block these e-mails long before the first virus or spam database updates are released which can take several hours sometimes.

Filter modules
Virus filter - effective virus recognition based on the outstanding VirusBuster virus scan engine.
File filter - actions could be assigned to specified file formats.
Spam filter - statistical spam filtering with many evaluation methods.
Address filter - it is possible to set Black/White lists.
Result filter - summarized result, all results of other filters could be used in the result filter.

Advanced WormBuster function
For blocking I-Worms instantly.

Safety of operation
Outstanding error handling (Watchdog) to continuous operation.

Automatic, incremental virus database updates
Makes automatic virus database updates possible to keep the virus database up-to-date providing effective protection. Incremental updates help in minimazing network traffic during updates.

Log daemon
Logging to several output types: file, syslog, standard output.

Statistics
Comprehensive statistical information about mail traffic and events.
