Smartfella Internet Services Announces New Mailrover System

Salt Lake City, UT., December 15, 2001: "New Mailrover System Eats Viruses & Spam for Lunch."

Smartfella Internet Services announced today that it's taking virus and spam protection to a whole new level with it's new Mailrover Anti-Virus/Anti-Spam Email System.

"The Internet, just like the rest of the world, is not a perfectly safe place to visit. If you download files or receive e-mail from the Internet, there's a chance that your computer could become infected with a virus," said Dennis Dutson, President of Smartfella Internet Services.

SFI wants to do everything possible to ensure that their customer's e-mail experience is safe, trouble-free, reliable, and effective. Viruses are malicious programs that invade your computer. A virus is designed to copy itself, over and over and over. This is typically referred to as an infection, because -- like real biological viruses -- such programs need the aid of "hosts" to spread. Your computer acts as a host for the infecting viruses, which alter, damage, or delete your files, and may even damage your computer's operating system.

SFI's new MailRover Spam and Virus Sniffer provides the latest technology to protect their subscribers from the river of viruses and spam infecting the 'Net. MailRover builds a virtual "mailfence" that protects our valued subscribers through a sophisticated server-based system. MailRover automatically sniffs out spam and viruses before they ever hit your e-mail box. Plus, MailRover provides true, real-time automated updates of the latest anti-virus rules and engines.

More than 53,000 virus threats exist today, according to the McAfee AVERT Virus Information Library. Over half of all viruses come from e-mail attachments. The need to monitor e-mail messages for dangerous, offensive or confidential content grows every day. The most deadly viruses, able to cripple your e-mail system in minutes, are distributed worldwide via e-mail in a matter of hours. When left defenseless, e-mail viruses can wreak havoc on your computer and your life.

Using the updated anti-virus rules from the MailRover Logistics and Operations Center, the MailRover Server identifies infected messages and diverts them to its anti-virus module, which disinfects them using the Symantec AntiVirus(tm) Engine. Once the clean messages are returned, they are sent on to the customer, along with a notification indicating that they have been disinfected.

In addition, SFI's customizable MailRover Web Client lets end-users view a virtual mailbox containing suspected spam. MailRover's "Doghouse Database" is designed to hold suspected spam that is removed from a user's legitimate email for a discrete time period. The database is also a fail-safe for storing email that should not have been removed.

"SFI is dedicated to defending their subscribers against spam and viruses with the most reliable watchdog in the industry: MailRover. MailRover delivers the best spam and virus protection in the industry, giving SFI subscribers the peace of mind they deserve," stated Dutson.
