However, an Antivirus "System" scan initiated manually does find viruses in my PST files - and I have 4 very large PST files. Perhaps I could increase the severity of the settings, but right now running in "Autopilot". I have NEVER had an email caught coming in that had a virus (that I know of), so I doubt the port scanning. I am running Total Security 2013, Windows 7 Pro, Outlook 2013. The exception to the rule for email scanning via port traffic is of course webmail accounts but anything from those should be picked up by realtime antivirus scanning. Email programs are referred to as clients in the industry so sorry for any confusion that may have caused. Outlook, Thunderbird etc.) not which version of security package.

Many antivirus products scan emails.Īntivirus plus can scan emails for viruses/malware. I am using Outlook for my email so it should not be a problem to scan emails. I know its not BD's fault that top 10 reviews has incorrect information but it has caused me a little grief. I tried to get hold of top 10 reviews to tell them that they are misrepresenting BD but we will see if they take scanning emails off of their list that says BD Antivirus Plus can scan emails or not. I tried to explain to them that Antispam is not the same as scanning emails for viruses but they insisted that the IS version would do what I needed it to do.Īfter installing the IS version I find that BD is still not scanning my incoming and outgoing emails for viruses but I can manage my friends and spammers list which is good but not what I was asking for.ĬAN BD scan emails for Viruses or not? If not I will have to go with another product that can.

So after a little negotiation BD agreed to upgrade me to the IS version. After installing it and talking with support I found that this product did not scan emails for viruses and that I needed the Antispam feature which came with the Internet Security version of the product.
I naturally assumed it was email scanning for viruses since it was an antivirus product. As you can see it shows one of the features to be Email Scanning. This link shows it as the number one product out there. A few days ago I bought BD Antivirus plus after looking at the the excellent reviews it was getting on the net.
