According to statistics from our Barracuda anti-spam filters and from 30 million emails processed we have calculated that approximately 90% of all emails that arrive in your inbox are SPAM. 2% are viruses and 8% are legitimate emails. Today viruses are less the problem and more so spam.

To look at the problem from a different perspective, out of 100 emails 92 are unwanted meaning a large portion of your company's network resources are being used to process junk emails.

You should not have to worry about spam, let us keep it under control.

¿Why do I need an anti-spam filter if I already use anti-virus programs (like Mcafee, Pccilin, Norton, etc...)?

Our filter is a complement and much more to programs you already have installed on your computer or server. 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 the 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 not even arrive in 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 98% of spam.
