Does SecureAnywhere Complete protect my e-mail traffic?

We don't do email scanning as part of our AV protection.  Webroot's approach is to catch the malicious software at the time it tries to execute, rather than trying to catch it in transit.

Do you happen to know if G Mail is protected, itself?

I think most of the major email providers do scans automatically:

Thank you.
BTW, How did you upload a custom avator?

Oops.  Sorry to bother you with that.  I found it in HELP.

Thanks!

Hello
I "reopen" this old topic because I have a question about Email protection.
I understand and agree what you say nic , but if I'm right WSAC works with an Internet connection.
So if my Internet connection is interrupted and if I open an infected Email (not online but on Windows mail or Outlook 2013), I'm not sure that I am protected:@
I'm using WSAC on 2 PC and 1 laptop since more 2 years and I had never got any problem but I would be happy if you can reassure me;)

Hi Asklepios
 
WSA protects both interactively & via scan very well when you are off line because it does not just rely on comparison with signatures, etc.  There is so much more to WSA's protection engine then that...indeed the vast majority of the protection is based on behavioural analysis (heuristics) of potential threats together with whitelisting of files, etc.  For more information on the heuristic-related components of WSA please see this page of the Online Help Text.
 
In fact whilst to all intents and purposes the signatures are in the Cloud, that is not strictly true as WSA does hold a database of special signatures, specificaly for this purpose, on the client machine.
 
So you are well protected as well when off line. 
 
Hope that helps?
