Inline AntiVirus Scanning for MDaemon In addition to their direct damages, viruses cause peripheral losses by wasting time and resources. This happens because most AntiVirus software scans files after they enter your email server or show up on your personal computer. While scanning files after their arrival is better than no protection at all, this method is similar to drag- ging in a trojan horse and waiting to see what pops out. A more effective solution blocks the intruders at the door. After all, malicious software cannot cause any harm unless it gets inside.
