Virus Information

At Fermilab, the email gateway scans all email for virus infected attachments. After it is scanned on the gateway, the site-wide POP and IMAP servers scan email attachments destined for them. To learn more about the FNAL virus scanning policy and how it works, visit our Virus Scanning Policies web page.

Statistics are gathered and recorded on all the viruses found. To view charts with this information, see our Virus Stats web page.

In order to help protect yourself against worms and viruses, there are some settings which you should check if you use Internet Explorer or Outlook Express.
