Spammers and hackers have become increasingly more sophisticated in their approach as well as their purpose in infecting computers, PDAs, and mobile phones. Among other unsavory purposes, malware is now used to build bot-networks for the purpose of sending spam and phishing messages. Most anti-virus solutions require the AV vendor to collect and craft an anti-virus signature for each virus variant. Mail-Filters' RETIRE System for Email-Borne Malware provides "minute-zero" (immediate and automatic) creation of detection Bullet(s) that catches the malware and it's variants minutes, hours or even days before classic AV solutions have created and distributed their anti-virus signatures – providing protection during those all-important initial minutes of malware activity. Features of Mail-Filters' RETIRE System for Email-Borne Malware: • Minute-Zero Detection and Prevention – Mail-Filters' millions of sources of spam and email probes deliver the malware sample to the Mail-Filters' data center immediately upon the distribution (outbreak) of new malware. • Automatic – The Aristotle process within the Mail-Filters data center detects the pattern and automatically creates Bullets to detect the viruses. • Accurate – After the Bullet is created, Mail-Filters' expert editors review and check the Bullet to ensure no false positives occur and that all variants are being detected. • Unique – Mail-Filters' RETIRE System for Email-Borne Malware is the only system that has both the speed of automation and the accuracy of human expert validation to create the fastest and most accurate proactive anti-malware solution. Because a Bullet Signature is neither a checksum nor a hash-value "fingerprint", future variants of the same virus are also often detected without requiring additional updates. • Established and Proven – Mail-Filters has provided Email-borne malware detection and prevention, for millions of users in over 120 countries through both our OEM partners as well as our direct customer relationships, longer than any other anti-spam vendor. • Enhanced – Almost all Email-borne malware attacks originate from existing infected machines in bot-nets. The attacks typically start out small and build exponentially as they infect additional machines and mutate their message and payload. With the advent of the Mail-Filters IP Reputation System, new outbreaks from existing bot-nets are automatically squashed while at the same time the malware samples are automatically collected for Bullet Signature creation.
