Most companies are connected to the Internet, and email is a common communication method. However, email has also been the most common way for spreading malware (computer viruses, worms, trojans, etc.).

The need for scanning for this malicious code on the email server is therefore crucial. Norman Virus Control (NVC) for Exchange is a virus scanner that integrates with Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 to ensure that everything that passes through the Exchange server is checked for computer viruses, trojans, and other malicious code.

NVC for Exchange uses VSAPI 2.0* plug-in, which connects to the Exchange Information Store on the server for access to emails and attachments. NVC for Exchange becomes an integrated part of Exchange itself.

* The NVC for Exchange 2000 will work in Exchange 2003 because Exchange 2003’s VSAPI 2.5 is backwards compatible with VSAPI 2.0 used in Exchange 2000.
