Managing your own home page complete with affiliated e-mail address now becomes more secure than ever - and free of charge*.

Since 12 May 2005, T-Online has equipped all its home page packages with complimentary* spam and virus protection for the hosting mailboxes. With launch of spam and virus protection for the individual mailbox, holders of home pages can now efficiently protect domain mailboxes too against unwelcome mass e-mails, as well as computer viruses and worms. "With this extra added feature we are rounding out the service for our home page customers," says T-Online board member Thomas Hille. "In the future, designing your own Internet presence will become even simpler and, above all, more secure."

With the spam and virus protection, domain mailboxes can be kept clean simply and securely. The virus protection software automatically checks incoming e-mails for covert viruses, worms and Trojan horses. Known risk sources are automatically deleted. The tool will deliver "sanitized" e-mails bearing the sender's name, the reference line and the virus name. The virus protection software is updated twice daily and there is an instant update following a virus attack.

With the spam protection, the domain mailbox is not only more secure, but more orderly as well. The software filters messages arriving in the mailbox and dependably detects spam. In "Preferences", the host - e.g. the proprietor of the home page - personally selects whether the unwanted messages in the reference line are to be flagged as spam, or immediately filed in a separate folder within the mailbox.
