The present invention is a system, a method for providing virus protection, and a computer program stored on a storage medium in a communication system (10) including at least a first network (11) coupled to a destination (18) to which transmissions of data packets are made from the first network to the destination. A virus protection system in accordance with the invention includes a gateway (12), coupled between the first network and the destination, which includes a firewall (14) which receives data packets and a virus scanning engine (22), coupled to the firewall, which receives the data packets after reception by the firewall, tests the data packets, passes any data packets, which are tested by the virus scanning engine to not contain a virus to the destination and discards any data packets which are tested by the virus scanning engine to contain a virus.
In a communication system including at least a first network coupled to a destination to which transmissions of data packets are made from the first network to the destination, a system for providing virus protection comprising:
In a communication system including at least a first network coupled to a destination to which transmissions of data packets are made from the first network to the destination, a gateway coupled between the first network and the destination which includes a firewall which receives the data packets and a virus scanning engine, a method comprising:
A computer program stored on a storage medium for use in a virus scanning engine in a communication system including at least a first network coupled to a destination to which transmissions of data packets are made from the first network to the destination, a gateway coupled between the first network and the destination, which includes a firewall which receives the data packets and the virus scanning engine, coupled to the firewall, which receives the data packets after reception by the firewall, passes any data packets, which are tested to not contain a virus to the destination and discards any data packets which are tested to contain a virus, the computer program when executed causing the virus scanning engine to execute at least one step of:
