1) Digital Book E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook by SYNGRESS. E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook is a great book for learning where your email software is vulnerable and how you can defend yourself against malicious code in your email. The authors provide a detailed overview of the various malicious code threats- viruses, worms, trojans, etc. They also discuss a range of email clients from Outlook and Outlook Express to web-based email programs such as Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. For each client they provide some common weaknesses and give detailed explanations of what you can do to protect your computer. Email is one of the most common vectors for malicious code attacks and it is important for everyone to be aware of how to guard against these threats. While slightly dated, I still recommend this book.

2) Digital Book E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook by SYNGRESS. I purchased this book after my e-mail and web browser were getting hack attacks. The information in this book gave me alot of tools on how to plug up vulnerable points in my Outlook program, Outlook express and all other popular e-mail programs as well as web browser Active X and Java attacks and instant messenger attacks. It also goes into how the hackers get into your system and what the code looks like and how to search for it on your computer if they are stored on your hard drive. Very good book, I highly recommend it!¤

3) Digital Book E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook by SYNGRESS. This book is amazing, covering all aspects of email related issues and the ways to deal with. I pretty much enjoyed reading the chapter on web-based mail issues, which drives me to use hushmail than yahoo or hotmail.¤

4) Digital Book E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook by SYNGRESS. Picked this up a week or so ago, and have found myself referring to it on a number of occasions. The overall treatment is nice, as it delves into things needed for both the home user and email admin. I´ve especially enjoyed (and found useful) the chapters on Securing Win2K Server and Securing Red Hat Linux for email services.¤

5) Digital Book E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook by SYNGRESS. I was extremely happy to find this book on Amazon, because of all the problems our company has had with e-mail viruses over the past several months. The book adressed almost all of the types of attacks that I´ve had to deal with, and many others that I´ve been trying to prevent. It´s obvious that the authors know their stuff, and they do an excellent job of communicating their knowledge and experience. Highly recommended!¤

6) Digital Book E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook by SYNGRESS. The E-mail Virus Protection Book presents an equally strong challenge to such disruptions, which can introduce lethal viruses, compromise or destroy information, damage businesses, and create tremendous expenses in both time and money. Organized around specific e-mail clients, server environments, and antivirus software, the book is aimed at both users and network professionals, with topics including using e-mail filtering software to monitor all incoming documents for malicious behavior; scanning content and countering e-mail address forgery attacks; and eradicating mobile code attacks. PC users both at home and in business will find this book valuable for its range of defenses, while systems professionals will welcome its coverage of enterprise-wide security tools and strategies.¤

7) Digital Book E-Mail Virus Protection Handbook by SYNGRESS. All of the big viruses of recent times (think "Melissa" and the "Love Bug") have used e-mail protocols to propagate themselves--often taking advantage of the address-book features of e-mail clients to identify their victims. The E-mail Virus Protection Handbook explores how you, as an administrator of an e-mail server (and perhaps some of the network resources that surround it), can protect your users from productivity loss that results from e-mail virus infection. This book is best suited to administrators of smallish networks who have responsibility for (and direct control over) firewalls and network-wide antivirus strategies, as well as e-mail readers on the client side.

The authors of this volume (and there are several) begin by explaining how and why e-mail viruses work--they point the finger mainly at software that´s designed for slick presentation of mail instead of for security, as well as at uninformed end users. Then, they begin to explain what various countermeasures, including antivirus software and firewalls, can do, and offer specific configuration advice. They also explore means of configuring popular e-mail servers and clients for maximum resistance to viruses. Overall, this book is carefully researched and should provide system administrators with the information--both practical and background--that they need to protect their systems from some of the more insidious threats around. --David Wall

Topics covered: Malicious code that´s spread through e-mail clients, servers, and protocols, and how to defend against it. Specifically, the book deals with antivirus software--both network-wide and for single clients--and configuration policies for Outlook 2000, Outlook Express 5.0, and Eudora 4.3 on the client side. Server coverage includes Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Red Hat Linux 6.0, Exchange Server 5.5, and Sendmail. Personal firewalls, like BlackICE Defender 2.1, get attention, too.¤
