Anti-virus gateway protection
Kerio WinRoute Firewall provides optional gateway anti-virus control and checks the following inbound and outbound traffic:
- email (SMTP and POP3)
- web (HTTP)
- file transfers (FTP)
Having anti-virus installed at the perimeter of the local area network ensures that all Internet traffic is always scanned. For IT administrators, gateway antivirus scanning means the latest anti-virus definitions are updated to a single system which filters traffic, rather than relying on a large number of anti-viruses to be updated on individual desktops.
Dual Anti-virus control
With two different anti-virus engines running simultaneously, Kerio WinRoute Firewall provides double the protection against viruses. While one anti-virus vendor may be late with a virus signature, a chance that both will fail to catch a virus is significantly lower.
Kerio WinRoute Firewall offers a choice of using the built-in McAfee Anti-Virus, using one of supplied anti-virus plug-ins, or using a combination of McAfee Anti-Virus and one of the anti-virus plug-ins.

Kerio WinRoute Firewall with McAfee Anti-Virus
With integrated McAfee, anti-virus settings are only firewall-related; setup is simple and straightforward, with no advanced configuration options required. Due to integration, there is no chance the server-side anti-virus and firewall components will ever conflict with each other.
Kerio WinRoute Firewall with antivirus plug-ins
Kerio Winroute Firewall supports the following top anti-virus products via plug-ins.
Virus protection for email
Kerio WinRoute Firewall scans all incoming and outgoing emails including all attachments. When the firewall detects a virus in an email message, the infected content is removed. If the virus is found in an attachment, the attachment is removed and a notification is added to the message.
Virus protection for the web
Kerio WinRoute Firewall scans content of all web traffic including HMTL pages for embedded viruses. Also, Internet downloads over HTTP and file tranfers over FTP protocol are scanned for viruses. Traffic from ssers connecting through KWF's built-in VPN server is also scanned.
Technology partnership with McAfee Security
Kerio Technologies Inc. partners with McAfee Security to deliver cross-platform virus protection including viruses for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Kerio WinRoute Firewall with integrated McAfee is updated with the latest virus definitions as often as every hour.
