MailGuard TrustedPath
Neighbourhood Watch for E-mail
Relying totally on the suppliers of anti-virus software to protect your systems is a lot like saying that fighting crime should be
left just to the Police. It's time to take control of the e-mail streets and to stop viruses, worms and cyberwoozles from abusing your e-mail.
With MailGuard TrustedPath you can stop the replication of a virus, the progress of a worm and the
siphoning of a data by a cyberwoozle. It's the e-mail equivalent to Neighbourhood Watch - so protect yourself and be a good neighbour as well.
With Melissa, PrettyPark, ExploreZip and now ICQGreeting the list and variety of e-mail menaces is growing rapidly. Anti-virus software suppliers are running to keep up with retrospective upgrades and
patches. Unfortunately many businesses believe that use of an anti-virus software package adequately defends against such e-mail borne threats. However, when a major anti-virus company states that tens
of thousands of its corporate customers were affected by the ExploreZip worm, including 60% of its top 300 corporate customers, it becomes clear that greater protection is needed.
To show we mean business, NET-TEL has made MailGuard TrustedPath available as a free download for personal use. Should you wish to deploy MailGuard TrustedPath throughout your organisation, then
please contact mailguard@net-tel.co.uk or phone +44 (0)1582 830500 and ask for the MailGuard sales

What is MailGuard TrustedPath?
MailGuard TrustedPath allows a user to sanction the release of all e-mail before it leaves the desktop,
thus preventing the generation of "hidden" e-mail by malicious code. You can choose whether to reject a suspicious e-mail or to review the entire message before allowing it to be sent. The configuration of
MailGuard TrustedPath allows you to choose whether to monitor all outgoing e-mail or just messages that do not originate from your normal e-mail client.
MailGuard TrustedPath is a desktop plug-in for the MS Windows® MAPI messaging architecture, operating with e-mail clients such as MS Outlook and MS Exchange and mail-enabled applications
such as those comprising the MS Office suite.
MailGuard TrustedPath can be used on Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.
Part of the MailGuard™ family
MailGuard TrustedPath is one of the MailGuard Enabler desktop components. MailGuard Enabler is a
set of desktop plug-ins that complement the MailGuard messaging firewall by adding features such as consistent sensitivity labelling to standard e-mail clients. This approach enhances an overall security
policy by proving a desktop contribution to boundary security enforcement.
