Knowing about Trusted Email Clients
Email is the most common medium for spreading viruses and other malicious programs. Since email is most widely used for
communication, newer viruses are using email as a very easy medium to spread. Virus authors are always looking for new methods
to automatically execute their viral codes using some vulnerability amongst popular email clients. Worms are also using their own
SMTP engine routine to spread their infection.
Trusted email client is an advanced option which authenticates email-sending application on the system before they are sending
emails. This option will prevent new ‘Worms’ from further spreading from your system. It contains a default email client list, which
is allowed to send emails. Email client in the default list are Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora and Netscape
Navigator.
1. In case if the prompt comes for an application, which is known to you for sending email but not added in the Trusted
email client list, click Yes to add the same.
2. In case if the prompt comes for an application, which is not known to you for sending email then select No as it could
be a new Worm. We also request you to send the same file to
[e-mail] for further analysis of the
same.
Using Data Protection
Data protection can be used to block access to removable drives (viz USB drives, Pen Drives, Memory cards, etc.). This will protect
your confidential information in the system from being copied using these drives. Using this feature your system’s data cannot be
copied to the removable drives. Neither can the data from outside (removable drives) be copied to your system. This way it protects
your system and data. This helps to protect infection and data theft.
To enable Data Protection
1. Start Quick Heal Total Security.
2. Click Options, under main windows menu of the Quick Heal Total Security.
3. Click Data Protection tab.
4. Select Data Protection option.
5. Click OK to apply the changes.
