Misk.com Virus Filtering
Misk.com scans all email messages that are sent and received through our mail servers
for Viruses.
We use
Avast technology as our anti-virus filtering
engine to take advantage of one of the industry leaders in catching viruses!
This allows us to remove potentially dangerous files before they ever reach your
Inbox.
Why do you need Virus Protection?
Computer viruses can be a simple nuisance or they can completely destroy your computer(s).
Loss of Time. Opening an email attachment that has been infected
with a Virus can lead to hours of work fixing your computer.
Loss of Data. Even worse, they can cause files on your computer
to be permanently lost.
Client Side Virus Filtering
Even though we filter for viruses, it is still recommended to have an Anti-Virus
program installed your computer. Imagine the situation where a virus just came out
and was emailed to you. Our filter wouldn't pick it up because virus organizations
haven't added a rule for it yet. However, by the time you check your email, a filter
has been written. Hence an Anti-Virus program installed on your computer would have
protected you.
Good Practices for Protecting your Computer
Please follow the simple steps below to protect your computer from being infected:
Install Anti-virus Software on your computer
We highly recommend installing an Anti-Virus program on your computer.
In addition to catching any additional email viruses that were not picked up by
our Virus protection, this program will also protect your computer from other types
of viruses, such as Trojan Horses that you may have accidentally downloaded from
the Internet.
Do not open files from unknown sources
If you do not know what the file is or who sent it to you,
Don't Open It!
Beware of Executable Files
Email Viruses are spread through Executable Files.
These include .exe, .bat and .com files.
.doc, .xsl, .jpg and .gif are data files and are generally fine to open.
Enable Macro Virus Protection
Macros can be contained in .doc and .xsl files and may be used to spread viruses.
You should not run macros in a document, unless you know what they do.

- On the "Tools" menu, click "Options", and then click the "Advanced" tab.
