Do the names Melissa, I Love You, Love Bug or AnnaKournikova ring any bells for you? They are all viruses malicious programs that can and do damage data and computer configurations and they have all infected the machines of millions of users over the last couple of years. And these are just a few of the more famous ones. There are literally thousands more, and they are causing expensive damage on computers all over the world, every day.

What all these viruses have in common is that they are spread as "e-mail attachments" files sent together with the actual e-mail message, usually identified by a paper clip symbol or something similar. Just receiving an attachment isn't dangerous, but if you execute it, which means running it like a program, it can basically do anything it wants.

Many e-mail clients like Microsoft Outlook Express don't provide you with optimum protection to make sure that this doesn't happen. They allow you to run attachments immediately just by clicking on them, and sometimes attachments will even be run automatically as soon as they are received.

This program gives you effective protection by identifying and blocking potentially dangerous attachments before they are received by your e-mail program. Depending on the settings you choose, Ashampoo Mail Virus Blocker will either delete the mail containing the attachment or it will rename the attachments. Renaming attachments makes them harmless, because it is then no longer possible to execute them by clicking on them.
