Right, my corporate network is tied down tighter than a drum.

However, we have several (c.20) remote laptop users that use a 3rd party email service.

Ideal world I would change thier email and have them use the network, however, I cant do this for several reasons.

What I need is a peice of SW that will scan email as they download it into OE via modems, I want the emails scanned before they are loaded into OE....

Any ideas lads?

McAfee VirusScan does that.

Will scan files/folders, downloaded internet files (e.g. ftp, save as, etc.), java applets, e-mail attachments (corporate and OE).

The biggest hassle with remote laptops is keeping the virus signatures/database up-to-date. With the McAfee stuff, you can either download it automatically from their website or just run the latest dat update once-a-week.

Computers *yawn*

Ours will do it, but it's not of huge benefit. Even with the feature turned off they wouldn't be able to execute the infected attachment.
