Gmail Adds Virus Checking Of Attachments

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Just noticed that Gmail now checks attachments for viruses:

[from About Gmail]

What's new on Gmail?

Just Launched!

Virus scanning is here!
Get an automatic check-up every time you open or send a message with an attachment. We even try our best to remove viruses so we can protect you against all the ones we find. You're on your own with the common cold (try chicken soup).
