Code-based virus protection
eXpurgate virus protection uses a code-based method which exploits the main similarity between viruses and spam: like spam, viruses are spread through e-mail by mass mailing and are therefore subject to the bulk mail check criterion that the eXpurgate technology is based on. So viruses are reliably identified, with additional help from extra checking criteria.
The code-based scanning process is a useful complement to the signature-based virus scanner, and enhances the detection capacity offered by the eleven virus protection package.
eXpurgate virus outbreak detection is an integral part of eXpurgate’s virus protection and is available for all eXpurgate versions (ASP, in-house, SDK). The system can be optionally combined with the signature-based antivirus scanner AntiVir.
