If you receive a virus in your email then hopefully, your anti-virus program will detect it when you try to access it. However, consider the possibility of your anti-virus program not being up-to-date or if it's somehow not running then you'd have the very real problem of your computer being infected with a destructive program or a trojan that allows an attacker to secretly monitor your computer activity including having a log of every single keystroke you make including when carrying out any sensitive tasks such as online banking.

It's prudent to always run an up-to-date virus scanner on your computer, but also prudent is to have some sort of email scanner that checks for malicious code such as Firetrust Benign. Benign works with any email program and quietly scans incoming email, neutralising or stripping out any harmful code.

Benign is an excellent companion to MailWasher Pro and provides protection from even the latest email viruses that your anti-virus application may not even be aware of yet.
