Anti-virus gateway protection
Kerio WinRoute Firewall provides optional gateway
anti-virus control and checks the following inbound
and outbound traffic:
- email (SMTP and POP3)
- web (HTTP)
- file transfers (FTP)
Having anti-virus installed at the perimeter of
the local area network ensures that all Internet
traffic is always scanned. For IT administrators,
gateway antivirus scanning means the latest anti-virus
definitions are updated to a single system which
filters traffic, rather than relying on a large
number of anti-viruses to be updated on individual
desktops.
Dual Anti-virus control
With two different anti-virus engines running
simultaneously, Kerio WinRoute Firewall provides
double the protection against viruses. While one
anti-virus vendor may be late with a virus signature,
a chance that both will fail to catch a virus
is significantly lower.
Kerio WinRoute Firewall offers a choice of using
the built-in McAfee Anti-Virus, using one of supplied
anti-virus plug-ins, or using a combination of
McAfee Anti-Virus and one of the anti-virus plug-ins.
Kerio WinRoute Firewall
with McAfee Anti-Virus
With integrated McAfee, anti-virus settings are
only firewall-related; setup is simple and straightforward,
with no advanced configuration options required.
Due to integration, there is no chance the server-side
anti-virus and firewall components will ever conflict
with each other.

Virus protection for email
Kerio WinRoute Firewall scans all incoming and
outgoing emails including all attachments. When
the firewall detects a virus in an email message,
the infected content is removed. If the virus
is found in an attachment, the attachment is removed
and a notification is added to the message.
Virus protection for the web
Kerio WinRoute Firewall scans content of all web
traffic including HMTL pages for embedded viruses.
Also, Internet downloads over HTTP and file tranfers
over FTP protocol are scanned for viruses. Traffic
from ssers connecting through KWF's built-in VPN
server is also scanned.
Technology partnership with McAfee Security
Kerio Technologies Inc. partners with McAfee Security
to deliver cross-platform virus protection including
viruses for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Kerio
WinRoute Firewall with integrated McAfee is updated
with the latest virus definitions as often as
every hour. |
