The proliferation of the Internet brings with it an increased threat of virus infection. Internet viruses propagate via various avenues including E-mail, Web sites and file sharing. The Internet community needs to take a multipronged approach when defending itself against these threats. The introduction of Rakuten Broadband Premium's Virus Filtering service tackles viruses transmitted through E-mail by filtering incoming and outgoing E-mail on the Rakuten Broadband Premium mail server. This is executed before it reaches a customers personal computer.
Virus Filter operates on both incoming and outgoing E-mail.
Virus infected E-mails are identified and dealt with before entering a customer's mailbox.
Automatic updates of virus definitions are supplied when released.
Filters all attachment types including compressed and zipped files.
Simple control panel is located in the Rakuten Broadband Premium User settings pages.
