HI I was wondering if Avast 8 free can scan attachments in Outlook.com/hotmail.com email programs that are online. I am just curious to now this because I have found no settings that would indicate that Avast 8 free can attachments in outlook/hotmail online.
Thanks avast team you did a great job
webmail is scanned as normal webtraffic by webshield
downloaded attachments are scanned the same way any downloaded file is
microsoft protect all outlook/hotmail/live mail/msm mail accounts with Trend Micro on there mailserver
so all mail are already scanned before you recive it
HI Thank you Pondus for the information I was not aware that microsoft scanned my attachments before they got put in my inbox on hotmal/outlook.
Thanks again.
all webmail providers do…
yahoo use Norton
Gmail use postini spam/virus filter with two AV engines from McAfee/Authentium
