Business Pro Plus upgrade

Stops viruses
Stops 95% of all spam/junk mail
Ignore, warn or delete
Protects upto 100 email addresses on your domain
Business-grade protection

The upgrade to Business Pro Plus adds two distinct services to your Business Pro account - Giacom Anti-Virus and Giacom Anti-Spam. Both are designed to protect your business from malicious emails that can cause untold damage to your systems and network, and waste valuable time and resources.

More and more businesses are insisting on server-side protection for their employees and their PCs. Without this root level scanning, it’s almost impossible to protect any number of computers against the threats throughout the Internet.

Even after new spam laws were passed here in the UK, there has been no let-up in the amount of junk emails throughout the Internet, mainly from the US. It is said that now half of all emails are unsolicited, wasting millions of pounds in working time each and every day.

For only £95 per year, Giacom’s Business Pro Plus upgrade can be instantly applied to your account with immediate protection for all your emails on your hosted domain.

 

Giacom Anti-Virus

Giacom Anti-Virus forms part of the Business Pro Plus upgrade package.

What is Giacom Anti-virus?
Viruses are usually sent as part of an email message, which can infect your PC and network, causing system failures or security breaches, making it vital you protect your business. Undetected, they can also spread to your clients and beyond.
Giacom AntiVirus scans all your incoming email messages to help protect you from such virus threats. It detects malicious viruses, worms and Trojan Horses in all major files types, including mobile code and compressed file formats.

Why use Giacom Anti-virus?
Giacom AntiVirus detects viruses at server level, before they get to your PC or network, significantly reducing the risk of infection. Also, because Giacom AntiVirus is updated every hour, 24 hours a day, there's less chance of becoming victim to new and emerging viruses.

How it works
The Giacom Anti-Virus uses the F-Prot scanning engine, an award-winning detection device at the heart of many well-known commercial virus scanners. It currently detects more than 72,000 viruses and trojans.

All files types, email and attachments, are scanned as they pass through the Giacom MailServer, helping prevent infection before viruses manage to infiltrate your PC or network.
Giacom Anti-Virus checks every hour, 24 hours a day, for new emerging viruses, ensuring up-to-date protection.

 

Giacom Anti-Spam

Giacom Anti-Spam forms part of the Business Pro Plus upgrade package.

What is Giacom Anti-Spam?
Junk email - or Spam - is fast becoming the single biggest threat to the Internet since its outset. Businesses are being bombarded with countless advertisements sent by email wasting both time and vital bandwidth. Giacom Anti-Spam can eliminate up to 95% of the spam emails you receive.

Why use Giacom Anti-Spam?
Using highly intelligent email screening Giacom Anti-Spam knows the difference between legitimate email and junk, and uses multiple databases of known sources of spam which are updated day and night to provide unrivalled protection. You simply set the level of protection you require and choose the type of action that needs to be taken across all emails on your domain.

Protection types

The scanner will detect any obvious signs of spam, and identify emails from senders listed on databases of know spam sources.

Disadvantages: May allow through less obvious spam.

NORMAL - general Spam protection.
This is the most common setting and will serve to protect you well from spam without causing many, if any, false positives. It checks the type of email, looks for spam characteristics, and compares it with known spam sources.

Advantages: catches the majority of spam.
Disadvantages: very occasionally traps non-spam.

HIGH - aggressive Spam protection.
Stops almost all spam by identifying any abnormality in the emails you receive. Looks for any type of spam characteristic, plus checks against know spam sources.
