Barracuda Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus Filtering

Our anti-spam and anti-virus filter is a complement and much more to progroams you may already have installed in your computer or server (such as Mcafee, Pccilin, Norton, etc.). The advatanges of our filter are:
- Filter and eliminate spam BEFORE they arrive in your server or computer thereby eliminating the need for your antivirus program to detect and delete spam or virus. This saves on the consumption of your computers' resources (and multiply this by all the computers in your company).
- Anti-virus programs function within your internal network or personal computer, but probably do not protect webmail, for example with Internet use in a hotel or Internet cafe. If viruses and spam are eliminated before they even arrive there is no need to download them to your mail server since that mail would never even arrive to your inbox. This eliminates the need to delete dozens of spam email messages.
- Our equipment is dedicated solely to filtering spam and viruses and does it extremely well. As an aparatus the size of a rack server with the Linux operating system built specifically to filter spam and viruses it is able to fulfill its purpose much better than a program (software).
- It can also serve as a backup system for your emails. In the case of problems with your email server our equipment will contine to send emails for 3 days.
- It can lighten the work load for your preferred antivirus program and allow you to turn off its antispam function in order to consume fewer resources and allow your computer to work more quickly.
- Viruses and even more so spam cost industry and businesses millions of dollars in loss of information, time, resources, and system damages. We are able to filter up to 99.9% of viruses and 95% of spam.
