What is a virus?

A virus is a program which replicates itself, infecting your computer much like the biological organisms of the same name. Malicious attackers can use viruses for a number of nefarious purposes. The most common method of distributing viruses is through email.

Viruses can spread on their own once activated, and their effects are often disruptive and destructive.

How can I do the virus scanning?

You don't need to take any action if you have subscribed to the service, because the Atmail Anti-Virus Scanner automatically intercepts viruses on the server side.
