MessageLabs SkyScan AV
"MessageLabs found 19 instances of viruses in our first week on the service. We almost certainly would have been infected with the Goner Virus, had it not been for MessageLabs' early detection. I'm sure you saved me at least a day's work and frustration. Thanks much, I'm VERY pleased."

What is SkyScan AV?
SkyScan AV is a fully managed service that can be switched on in a matter of minutes, and requires no additional hardware or software from you. Once activated, all your inbound and outbound e-mail is re-routed through the MessageLabs Control Towers and scanned by four industry-leading scanners before being passed on to its final destination. Amazingly, the whole process has no discernible impact on e-mail delivery times – on average it takes under 1.5 seconds to process an e-mail – making it totally transparent to the recipient. Signature updates are automatically performed across the network every ten minutes and ‘instant updates’ are carried out in the event of a new outbreak.
What if a virus is detected?
Simple. The e-mail is automatically stopped and held in quarantine for 30 days. The sender and administrator receive immediate notification, allowing appropriate action to be taken. That’s it. Total protection.
So why do we pass e-mail through four industry-leading scanners? Because one is no longer enough. Standard anti-virus software is dependent on new signatures being available and downloaded, and even when fully up-to-date, will still miss at least 3% of viruses. SkyScan AV uses multiple scanners to provide total protection, comprising of Skeptic™, MessageLabs’ own unique and patented technology, combined with traditional scanners from McAfee, F-Secure and VFind.
