Worm.Sobig Virus Pop3 Remover

[robloz]

Forse se ne è già parlato, ma vorrei segnalare un remover che - anziché eliminare il virus dal pc - controlla automaticamente la mailbox rimuovendo le e-mail infette direttamente dal server (shareware, sembrerebbe).

Questa la descrizione ufficiale: "Works perfectly on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.

In response to resent attack of I-Worm.Sobig email virus, Abacre Corporation released its own antivirus called: Abacre I-Worm.Sobig Virus Remover. It periodically checks pop3 mailboxes and removes infected email messages directly from server side without downloading them. The program can be successfully used with any pop3 email clients: Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, The Bat. Note: this program does not clean already infected computers, it's only does not allow to your email clients to download infected viruses from your mailbox.

Why cleaning the Sobig is important?

It shows very high activity: some people get about 5 infected messages a minute. Each message is about 101KB. For even having high-speed ADSL connection it's very high pressure on network. If your mailbox has limited size, for example 5MB, than in one hour it could be full. Therefore mailbox will not accept any other maybe extremely important messages from your clients, family members or friends.

Why standard anti viruses are not efficient? Standard anti viruses resides on client computers. It means that before cleaning the message, it should be downloaded on local computer. Downloading takes too long time. Therefore ideal solution would be using antivirus program on server-side. It means that your Internet Service Provider should install the anti virus program. In mean time if ISP has not yet installed anti virus, you can get a lot of viruses any way. In this case using Abacre I-Worm.Sobig Virus Remover could be only one solution."

Non ho provato il programma, quindi sulla reale efficacia (e sulla capacità di lasciare intatti i messaggi non infetti) non saprei dire... però in questi giorni la mia mailbox rischia di esplodere

Già già... però se non sbaglio la registrazione dovrebbe essere gratuita per i possessori di Advanced Find & Replace (una bellissima utility che meriterebbe una recensione...)
