MDaemon AntiVirus

Plug-in for MDaemon mail server which provides protection against viruses, spam, phishing attacks, spyware and other unwanted and harmful email. It scans messages inline during each SMTP session using real-time heuristic technology.

SecurityPlus for MDaemon complements and extends the built-in security features of the MDaemon Mail Server, providing a shield to stop security trouble before it starts. By combining multiple powerful security safeguards, it blocks virtually all known dangers and prevents infestation by newly released threats. It automatically downloads and installs updates for hands-off administration. SecurityPlus is available in multiple languages and proactively protects email users against viruses, spam, phishing attacks, spyware and other types of unwanted and harmful email.

Key Features:

• Inline Virus Scanning Kaspersky AntiVirus Engine: SecurityPlus scans messages inline, using the Kaspersky AntiVirus Engine, during each SMTP session, effectively stopping malicious software at the email entrance to your network. When a corrupted message with a security threat is detected, SecurityPlus refuses to accept the email and any attachments (Available for MDaemon Pro users only).
  
• Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection: Real-time pattern analysis provides much faster protection than traditional filter and signature based solutions that require detecting, defining and disseminating new virus information. Outbreak Protection requires no heuristic rules, content filtering, or signature updates. Includes Real-time, antispam, zero-hour antivirus, anti-spyware and antiphishing technology (Available for MDaemon Pro users only).
• Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) Technology:
• Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) uses patented technology to identify patterns which are content agnostic to safeguard the original message. These patterns cannot be used to reconstruct the original message.
  
• RPD extracts and then analyses relevant patterns, which are used to identify massive email-borne outbreaks. It classifies both distribution and structural patterns within an email message.
  
• Urgent Update Notification: Provides additional antivirus definitions beyond regularly scheduled updates. When a high-risk virus threat is identified by Kaspersky Labs, you can select to be notified and trigger SecurityPlus to automatically initiate a database update of the latest virus definitions. Antivirus protection from Kaspersky Labs combines traditional antivirus defense methods with the latest proactive technologies to keep your organisation safe from new and emerging threats.
  
• Versatile Control: SecurityPlus for MDaemon detects infected attachments in both plain text and HTML messages. When an infected attachment is detected and you have selected to not block the message outright, you have the option to clean it, quarantine it, delete it, or allow MDaemon's Content Filter to handle it. Specific domains and addresses may also be excluded from scanning altogether.
  
• Log Files: SecurityPlus for MDaemon includes an administrative log that keeps track of the type, time and location of detected viruses.

MDaemon AntiVirus - Features

Outbreak Protection is a revolutionary, real-time, anti-spam, zero-hour anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-phishing technology capable of proactively protecting the MDaemon Pro 9.5 or later email platform automatically and within minutes of an outbreak. Outbreak Protection requires no heuristic rules, content filtering, or signature updates. Instead, it relies on the analysis of "patterns" associated with an email transmission and compares them to similar patterns collected from billions of email messages sampled daily, in real-time, from live Internet email traffic. The resulting analysis can detect outbreaks in "Zero Hour" much faster than traditional filter and signature based solutions that require detecting, defining, and updating new virus information.

Kaspersky Antivirus Engine

• Antivirus protection from Kaspersky Labs combines traditional antivirus defense methods with the latest proactive technologies.
• Provides solid and dependable protection against viruses and malware (malicious programs).

Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) Technology

• Recurrent Pattern Detection (RPD) uses patented technology to identify patterns which are content agnostic to safeguard the original message. These patterns cannot be used to reconstruct the original message.
• RPD extracts and then analyzes relevant patterns, which are used to identify massive email-borne outbreaks. It classifies both distribution and structural patterns within an email message.
• RPD patterns are compared to the local cache which provides fast match results for more than 70% of the patterns. If a pattern is not in the local cache, RPD will query global data centers for a match to provide true real-time protection with the most up-to-date patterns. These global data center queries then update the cache to keep the most current patterns available locally.
• RPD is designed to distinguish between the distribution patterns of solicited bulk emails, representing legitimate business correspondence, from those of unsolicited bulk emails, representing spam.
• RPD identifies incoming threat messages with very few, if any false positives. Not only are the patterns content agnostic, they are also language-independent making it equally effective for all message formats and encoding types.

Zero Hour Virus Outbreak Protection
