Test the security of your email system!

Is your email system secure against email viruses and attacks?
The most deadly viruses, able to cripple your email system and corporate network in minutes, are being distributed worldwide via email in a matter of hours (for example, the LoveLetter virus). Email worms and viruses can reach your system and infect your users through harmful attachments. But that's not all! Some viruses are transmitted through harmless-looking email messages and can run automatically without the need for user intervention (like the Nimda virus). Are you covered against such threats?

Find out now by doing a vulnerability check on your email system!
Sign up to test for these real world threats by entering your name and email address below. You will receive an email asking you to confirm your request by clicking on a URL, after which we will perform a vulnerability check of your email system. You will receive the results by email.

For an in-depth explanation of these vulnerabilities and why anti-virus is not enough, check out our white papers, Protecting your network against email threats: How to block email viruses and attacks, Why you need an email exploit detection engine, and Why anti-virus software is not enough. To protect once and for all against current and future threats, consider GFI MailSecurity.

How the tests work & how to interpret them

These tests are designed to detect whether your email system is safeguarded against a number of email-borne threats. Some of the tests execute automatically, demonstrating vulnerabilities within Outlook and email clients which run the files automatically upon receiving or viewing the email. Others require the end user to run the attachment.

For tests involving an email attachment, such as the VBS attachment and the CLSID extension vulnerability tests:
If you can run the attached file in the test email, then you are vulnerable: The test will create a file on your desktop called gfi-test.txt, which contains vital system information.

If you are unable to run the attachment, this means you have effective desktop-level protection. For your network to be secure against this type of vulnerability, every machine on your network must have such client-based protection installed, including your servers.

For the MIME header and ActiveX vulnerability tests:
If the text file gfi-test.txt appears on your desktop, then you are vulnerable to the exploit being tested for. In this case, gfi-test.txt is created automatically and contains vital system information.

If you do not receive a test email that you requested:
This should mean that you are protected against that particular vulnerability; the test email will have been quarantined or blocked at mail server level.

Test safety guarantee
GFI guarantees that these tests are very safe and do not do anything dangerous.
