Dozens of new viruses are found every day. Most of the them never spread far, but some have the potential to spread across the globe in hours.

If a virus infects a corporate network, the costs of removing it can be substantial. Infections often mean network disruptions, lowered or stopped production and data corruption which lead to big financial loss.

It could also spread by grabbing files at random and infecting them, causing potentially confidential or secret documents to be sent to others. This will undoubtedly cause damage to the company's reputation and might even lead to legal actions.

It is absolutely critical to have an antivirus engine updated with the latest available virus definitions. All major antivirus vendors have their own virus labs that produce virus definitions.

We've seen examples where one vendor might be the first to release a virus definition for one virus and then be hours or even days behind on the next virus.

One vendor cannot be the fastest all the time.

While most email scanning products rely on a single engine, Messagewash™ uses multiple engines that are updated instantly when a new virus definition is available.
