2 Product Information
Internet connection is an underestimated invasion doorway for malware on your
computer. If you transfer unfiltered data from the Internet on your system, you
can spread all types of malware throughout the entire network.
AntiVir WebGate is a reliable protection for your computer, by scanning, filtering
and if necessary blocking access to all files from the Internet.
Furthermore, AntiVir WebGate also scans the entire outgoing traffic.
Usually company computers access the Internet indirectly, via a proxy server.
AVIRA WebGate co-operates with the proxy server and completes it in an ideal
way.
Right from the beginning, two really important hints:
Losing valuable files usually has dramatic consequences. Not even the best antivirus
software can fully protect you against file loss.
Ensure regular backups for your files.
An antivirus program can be reliable and effective only if kept up-to-date.
Ensure that you maintain your AntiVir WebGate up-to-date, using Automatic
Updates. You will learn how to do it in this user guide.
