At Window Web Hosting we take Spam and Virus protection very seriously. Spam and virus infected emails are becoming an increasing threat for web site owners, to the point that many webmasters receive more junk and security threats than they do legitimate email each day in their Inbox. It is estimated that over 60% of email circulating around the Internet at any given time is comprised of spam or email viruses.

We have accepted this fact and have deployed some of the finest email filtering systems in our Network. The process works at the SMTP Gateway and our clients are offered this for FREE.

The spam filters analyze the emails before it reaches your Inbox for various factors which can identify it as SPAM. In the first place, we reference a lot of known spammers by using the lists published by organizations like SpamCop, SpamHaus, etc. It is here that a great deal of SPAM is blocked and deleted using a scoring pattern. We also perform checks like Reverse DNS checks, SPF record checks, Gray Listing, etc. to prevent lot of junk emails from being delivered to your Inbox. Moreover, you can also manage which emails are to be recognized as SPAM and which should be directly delivered to your Inbox from the web interface.

Our anti-virus systems contains a regularly updated database of current and past viruses. Each email is automatically scanned for potentially damaging file attachments and scripts way before it is delivered to your Inbox. If a virus is found, it is automatically stripped from the email. Our anti-virus servers are updated with the latest signatures daily so that potentially unsafe emails can be scanned and the infections removed.
