Email Protection
Proofpoint Email Protection solutions—deployed as a cloud service or on premises—protect against malware and threats that don’t involve malware, including impostor email, or business email compromise (BEC). Granular email filtering controls spam, bulk «graymail» and other unwanted email. And continuity capabilities keep email communications flowing when your email server fails.

Antivirus Software
Free virus protection
Viruses attack computers in different ways. There are signs your computer is infected, which, if spotted quickly, can stop the proliferation of the virus. Stay safe by being wary of certain websites, and bolster your system with antivirus software. For email-based threats, mail.com provides built-in tools that protect your computer.
Antivirus software explained
Antivirus software is your first line of defense against the numerous external threats associated with online activity. Used to prevent, detect, and remove malicious software that may affect both the operation of your computer and put your data at risk from unsolicited access, antivirus programs are important utilities for anyone who uses the Internet. Crucially, antivirus software acts as a type of check-point for any information that comes in or out of your computer, constantly scanning files and programs for potential risk. Free virus protection is provided to mail.com users as standard – so you can minimize online dangers.
In order to keep up with the many varied and constantly evolving threats, antivirus software must be continually developed. This means that the best antivirus programs can identify and then neutralize the latest viruses and malware. These include Trojans, browser hijackers, rootkits, ransomware, BHOs (Browser Helper Objects), worms, adware, fraud tools and spyware amongst many others. Additionally, some antivirus software will also protect the user from spam, phishing, and botnet DDoS attacks.
How to identify a virus
Virus and malware identification falls into five main categories, all of which have become more sophisticated as both the hardware and software used has evolved. Unfortunately, there is no single algorithm or software application that can perfectly detect all possible threats. However, a combination of these methods can achieve a good detection rate.
- Signature Based Detection – a method that compares files using a database of known threats. This is the most common approach currently used.
- Heuristic Based Detection – generally combined with signature based detection, this method identifies common characteristics within malware code.
- Behavioral Based Detection – similar to heuristic based detection, this technique identifies a behavioral fingerprint as the threat begins its malicious action.
- Sandbox Detection – an approach that executes malware programs in a virtual environment to determine whether the code is malicious.
- Data Mining Techniques – among the latest methods, this kind of detection uses machine learning algorithms to classify the behavior of a threat.
Antivirus software helps to keep you safe even when malware is the last thing on your mind – working continuously to maintain the highest levels of online security. Assuming everything is working as it should, then you will barely notice your antivirus software is operational. However, as soon as a potential issue is flagged, then a good antivirus program will notify you immediately and direct you to the correct course of action in order to keep your computer safe.
Common symptoms of a virus
Viruses manifest themselves as a range of issues within your computer and device. In fact, strange behavior exhibited by your machines is most often attributed to some kind of malware. Things to look out for include:
- Slow system or machine crashes
- Slow internet connection or unable to connect
- Programs or applications are missing or self-starting
- Peripheral hardware not working or self-starting
- Being locked out of your machine
- Pop-up adds or other intrusive advertisements
Safety starts with your operating system
Unfortunately, malware and viruses affect us all at some point and your vulnerability to external threats begins from the bottom up. Sadly, not all operating systems are created equal. After Linux, Mac OS is the most resilient to viruses and malware, with Windows OS the most vulnerable. In the mobile sector, Android is easily the most susceptible to attack, with Apple’s iOS being the most secure. However, whatever your operating system or device, it is important to take the necessary steps to remain protected at all times.
In some cases, this means a comprehensive suite of antivirus tools and utilities that protect numerous aspects of your computer’s operating system and hardware, in others, you may simply need an adblocker and email antivirus scanner in order to remain secure. Whichever option you decide to use, ensure you have the required tools and utilities to stay safe online.
How to stay safe online
Whilst a powerful antivirus program is very important, there are a number of other ways to help increase security while you are online. By following these simple tips, you will give your antivirus software the best chance of keeping your computer clean:
1. Regularly update antivirus software and other programs, including your operating system
2. Combine antivirus software with spam filters and do not open suspicious emails
3. Create complex passwords with numbers, letters, and special characters
4. Shop safely and only use trusted stores with the https extension in the URL
5. Keep yourself informed as to the latest scams and threats
