EMON - email monitor?

I just installed the trial version of Nod32 - and went through Blackspears's settings.

In those setttings - it's indicated that EMON only protects Outlook, and not Outlook Express.

Is this true?

I don't have Outlook (I only have Outlook Express) - so in my case, does
Nod32 offer email protection?

Should I disable EMON?

 

Hi . Protection for POP3 mails is offered by IMON (the internet monitoring which scans all the pop3 and smtp traffic on the early Winsock level ) . The resident protection AMON (performs on-create,on-access and on-execute scans) will not let any malware to run on your machine

You don't need to disable EMON because there is no reason , it will not speed-up your PC

 

Wow- thanks for the quick reply!

I use outlook express to view / download my Gmail.

Is Gmail pop3? and will IMON scan it if I am downloading my Gmail using outlook express?

 

Hi ! You are welcome !

I use Gmail , too Gmail can have pop3 , too but IMON will not be able to scan it . Gmail uses encryption to code its traffic . IMON works in the early Winsock level and encrypted connetion just cannot be read by IMON .

But don't worry :
Gmail has excellent anti-spam
Gmail has excellent anti-virus
Gmail will not allow you download viruses in your Outlook Express
and ... what is the most important , you have AMON in NOD32 which scan every file on your computers . As I said it will not let any malware run on your computer

 

"AMON in NOD32 which scan every file on your computers"

So now I have a question about AMON (just little details):
- If I understand this right - if I download a virus from Gmail - AMON, being the resident scanner, will scan the infected Gmail and stop it. Right?

But does AMON scan every file? I thought it's Nod32 - the on-demand scanner which scans every file?

 

AMON is the most important part of NOD32 . It performs scan before every file is accessed , after every file is created and before you execute a file .

Mails are downlaoded and immediately stored in dbx files .

I wanted to say that if you somehow happend to get a virus/a worm , for example/ AMON will not let it run, copy and distribute itself , AMON will not let in damage your data . If your NOD32 is up-to-date you are protected

 

With default settings , NOD32 's AMON scans all kind of files , the on-demand scanner (of every AV) is just deeper

 

Does AMON scan continuously in the background?

Can I assume eventually my whole hard-drive will be scanned by AMON?

Thanks again.

 

Yes, AMON checks every file opening and closing.

No, this is the function of the "On Demand Scanner".

Cheers

 

Thanks, you answered my question.

I have some more questions, but I'll start another thread (unrelated to EMON)..
