BitDefender for MS Exchange 2003 2004-09-07

Antivirus Scanning and Cleaning
The powerful scanning engines from BitDefender Professional showed 100% detection rate for all viruses in circulation (Certified by ICSA Labs, Checkmark and Virus Bulletin).

AntiSpam filtering
The existing AntiSpam Infrastructure of Exchange 2003 is leveraged for AntiSpam protection. In addition to that, BitDefender proprietary technologies are used. It incorporates six different filters: Keyword filter, White list, Black list, Charset filter, URL filter and Heuristic filter.

Update pushing
BitDefender for Exchange 2003 can be configured to initiate an update upon receipt of a specially crafted "update announcement" message from BitDefender Labs (subscription service).

Detailed Reports and Statistics
BitDefender for Exchange 2003 comes with a separate reports module which provides daily, weekly or monthly statistics organized by categories. The reports can be generated and viewed in the administration console.

Blocks Infected Messages
Filters and blocks messages if attachment or message body include a virus, Trojan, backdoor or other potentially dangerous active code. Blocks infected files regardless of the archive or compression type.

Intelligent Signature Update
Enables automatic update of virus definitions, without user intervention, directly from the BitDefender servers or from approved mirror sites. Thus, server traffic protection is kept up-to-date, ensuring a swift and effective reaction.

Scanning at transport level
Messages may be scanned at the transport level using VS-API 2. 5. This allows messages passing through a gateway Exchange server that would not normally enter the Exchange store to be scanned.
This prevents infected messages from entering the Exchange organization.

Outbound scanning
For sent messages, outbound scanning has been re-architected (in Exchange 2000 SP3 as well as Exchange 2003) such that all outbound messages will be scanned prior to being sent.
