What is Virus Guard?

All 1&1 / Higher Images email accounts are protected by Virus Guard from Symantec, which checks your incoming emails before they arrive in your mailbox. Whenever a virus is detected, the attachment is removed. You will receive immediate notification by email and be able to contact the sender. Virus Guard recognizes the most diverse viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, and detects mobile code such as Java, ActiveX, and stand-alone script-based threats. Script Blocking detects script-based threats such as the "I Love You" and "Anna Kournikova" viruses, even before new virus
definitions are created for them.
