World Verge stops spam from reaching you by using server-level filtering. We have systems in place that reject the emails that spammers send, keeping your emails safer and your inbox cleaner. |

World Verge currently does not provide virus scanning of e-mail. We believe it to be more effective for our clients to maintain an anti-virus program on their own computers. |
