Script Scanner, which blocks drive-by downloads and similar exploits from attacking
your PC and WormStopper, which prevents unknown email applications from sending
worms without your knowledge, you can email and IM with your friends and family
safely.
• Spam Protection includes improved message alerting, extensive filtering and
SpamKiller, which keeps your network free of spam for higher productivity and reduces
spam-related risks.
