The Email protection module supports the following email clients: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird. Email protection works as a plug-in for these programs. The main advantage of the plug-in control is that it is independent of the protocol used. When the email client receives an encrypted message, it is decrypted and sent to the virus scanner.
