Today's email viruses are often sophisticated enough to fool adults, leaving our less cautious and more trusting children even more vulnerable. With thousands of new viruses discovered each year, infection on a PC regularly used by children may be almost inevitable.
While running anti-virus software on your computer is a modern necessity, for the average user relying solely on AV software for protection is often a case of "too little, too late." In today's threat environment, viruses often spread far and wide before PC based anti-virus software can update to recognize them.
The simple fact is that since the vast majority of viruses are transmitted through email, implementing protection before messages reach your children's in-box is an amazingly effective solution. If viruses cannot reach your child's computer, they cannot infect it either!
Because system infection can still occur through other methods (web sites, instant messaging, port scans, etc..) you should consider OnlyMyEmail's services as an important first-step in virus protection, and not a replacement for system wide anti-virus software.
