| To be able to subscribe to
the F-Prot AVES service, you are required
to have your own domain. When you have signed
up for F-Prot AVES e-mail service, all your
incoming e-mail will be intercepted and filtered
according to the policy of your subscription.
Each time an incoming e-mail is modified to
protect you, a message with a link to the
unmodified message will be sent to your inbox.
The messages you receive from F-Prot AVES
service regarding modified messages can vary,
all depending on the action taken by F-Prot
AVES to protect you from hazardous mail. If
the filter modifies your message in any way,
you will receive a message about it. |

- A message telling you that an attachment
was deleted from your e-mail |
|
|
|
If you get this message it means that F-Prot
AVES has removed a security risk, e.g. deleted
an attachment from your e-mail. Today most
viruses are transmitted through e-mail as
attachments. By deleting an attachment that
is infected, F-Prot AVES prevents the virus
from infecting your computer.

- A message telling you that F-Prot
AVES has modied the original message |
|
|
|
If you get this message it means that F-Prot
AVES has modified the original message in
some way, e.g. disabled some HTML. |
|

- A message telling you that a file
was renamed |
|
|
|
If you get this message it means that F-Prot
AVES has renamed a file that was attached
to your e-mail. Usually no viruses or trojans
were found and the changes made to protect
you from any new and unknown threats. Better
to be safe than sorry! |

- The Message Quarantine |
|
|
| The first time you enter
the Message Quarantine through a link
sent to you as a notice of a modified
message, the F-Prot AVES system will
ask you to log in. Enter your e-mail
address and click the button offering
to send you a password. You will receive
a password a short while later in e-mail
and can then log in to the F-prot AVES
center and view unmodified messages. |
 |
The message Quarantine is very similar to
an e-mail Inbox except that it only stores
messages that F-Prot AVES has changed in some
way. The sanitized messages you receive have
been cleaned according to your active policy
but the original unmodified messages are stored
in the Quarantine until they expire (usually
60 days later). This allows you to easily
recover messages mistakenly blocked by the
generic mail sanitizer or the antivirus engine. |
|
|
|
Due to hardware, software or user errors,
it is easy to lose valuable information contained
in e-mail. A comprehensive backup system therefore
both increases security and saves time and
money.
The Backup system, just like the Message
Quarantine, looks very much like an inbox.
The Backup system will store your e-mails
for up to 90 days, all according to your
subscription policy.
To retreive messages from the Backup system,
simply click on the message you want and
select "Resend this e-mail". |
