Saya coba browsing ternyata belum banyak anti virus yang memiliki fitur proteksi email berupa scan otomatis terhadap kotak masuk maupun attachment yang ada di email. Beberapa diantara antivirus yang sudah ada fitur email protection:
- Norton (

Jika melihat pada artikel pada link di atas, sayangnya fitur tersebut belum tersedia untuk semua OS, kemudian hanya untuk akun yang dikonfigurasi dengan POP3 dan SMTP.
The email scanning feature in Norton cannot scan emails from the accounts that are configured for SSL. Email scanning can only scan emails from the accounts that are configured for POP3 and SMTP. The emails that you receive in your secure (SSL) accounts are encrypted, and Norton email scanning cannot scan them before they are downloaded to your inbox.
However, you are still protected. If someone sends you an email with an infected attachment, the file gets downloaded to your inbox along with the email. When you try to open it, the Auto-Protect feature in Norton detects and removes the infected file.
This is the case with almost all emails. The infected attachments can be available for you to download; however, when you try to open the file, Norton detects and removes it.
In case of POP3 accounts, the email scanning feature detects and removes the infected file even before it is downloaded to your inbox.
- Eset (

Protect your users and their email, the most exploited threat vector, with multilayered antispam, anti-phishing and host server protection technology.
Saya belum mencoba fitur proteksi email tersebut pada keduanya. Entah apakah cukup efektif atau tidak dalam menangkal model virus yang dikirim via email menggunakan lampiran file dokumen yang rusak seperti disebutkan om Jon di atas.
