[EML3.04] How can I protect myself from Internet Virus infections?

pfpHosts.com offers comprehensive email Anti Virus protection as an additional service. With this service all email which arrives at your domain name will be scanned on our servers, before it reaches you and any infected emails will be cleaned before you download them. Our Virus Definitions are automatically updated and so you can be assured of the greatest level of Anti Virus protection possible. The service can be added at any time by ordering it through us and specifying the domain name you wish to have protected. 

While pfpHosts.com and zimHosts.com always ensure the very highest quality of service at all times and ensure our Anti Virus products are fully up-to-date and always running, we are only able to protect customers whose emails are delivered through us using our Anti Virus services. That protection can not extend to any other email accounts customers may have with their ISP and other companies for which we have no access and no way to assist. Also certain Internet viruses known as "Worms" infect machines directly over the internet rather than via an email. 

As a result, we would always recommend to customers that they protect their workstations and PC's with up-to-date AntiVirus software and run an Internet Firewall package on the systems to protect their computers from malicious traffic over the network. It is also important that customers remember to fully patch their workstations and PC's with Operating System updates and also with up-to-date Anti-Virus definitions on a routine basis to ensure that their computers are fully protected.
