Award winning best-of-breed virus protection from the leading anti-virus vendor

Detect viruses, worms, and Trojan horses

Reports and Event Logs show you what viruses are being blocked on the network

Scan within archives and compressed files: Zip, RAR, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, MS OLE2, MS Cabinet Files, MS CHM, and MS SZDD

Virus Blocker sits at the network gateway so there is only one application to keep up-to-date (which Untangle does automatically!)

Scan trickle rate can be configured to support very large files

HTTP: configurable scanning by file extension or MIME type

SMTP: action on detection can be set to remove infection, block or pass message, with or without sender and/or receiver notification

FTP and HTTP: resuming of incomplete downloads can be enabled or disabled

POP and IMAP: action on detection can be set to remove infection or pass message (the nature of POP and IMAP protocols prevents messages from being blocked, but they can be scanned and cleansed)

Protect against archive bombs - files that are repeatedly compressed. Intensive resource consumption can occur when other virus scanners scan numerous levels of files within files; Untangle virus blocker products thwart this technique

Untangle's Virus Blocker dramatically improves on the open-source version of Virus Blocker Lite by leveraging the award winning anti-virus engine from Commtouch. Virus Blocker transparently scans HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP and IMAP traffic for viral signatures and uses on-the-fly decompression for scanning archive files. With Virus Blocker, you can prevent malware from ever reaching your desktops and servers! Integration with Reports allows you to keep track of scanning, blocking and cleaning events so you have a better picture of the threats facing your network.
