Virus Protection

[C Wood]

I did a google search, and came up empty.

This is what I am looking for, maybe you guys out there know of the
product:

Something I can plug between the internet (Rj45) connector and the
router that will wipeout the viruses for all web traffic, or at least just
the email. Many computers run on the network, and it would be nice to not
have to update everyone with individual protection. And this way it can't
be circumvented by the user. Hopefully it would have a web interface, and
automatically update.

Thanks

What about floppies and CD/DVDs?

For best protection, a combination of gateway/server/client is recommended.

Here's a good site to read about it.

You might want to have a look at NOD32 - the IMON component monitors all
traffic in real time and can be set to automatically delete or quarantine
suspicious attachments. Track record is good and updates are reliable and
consistent.

In any event - if anyone in your organization is using Outlook ot Outlook
Express - be very sure that message preview is disabled at all times.

My recommendation would be to punt any MS email client ASAP.

Calypso (AKA Courier) and TheBat are both excellent alternate email
clients.
