As part of our commitment to provide the best-possible Internet services, PTCNET.NET has partnered with Postini to provide you the latest tools to help prevent viruses and junk email from reaching your computer.
The Postini services are private and secure. The junk email and virus protection is an automated process. Nobody has access to your email except you. Nobody will read your email. Your email is not censored, YOU control the filter settings.
All
PTCNET.NET subscribers receive the email virus filtering included with your
regular monthly charges. In addition, all customers receive the junk email
filtering free for 2 months with any new account. After the initial period, a
charge of $1.00 per month per account will apply if the filter is not cancelled.
Here is a brief overview of the Postini service:
- Your email passes through Postini's automated filters that detect
suspected junk email and viruses.
- Suspicious email is directed to your personal, web-based,
password-protected Message Center (it does not arrive at your computer's in
box). Think of this as a quarantine area. In your Message Center you can
read the quarantined email online, delete it, or deliver (forward) it to
your in box.
- Initially you should visit your Message Center often because Postini
"remembers and learns" from your interaction. As time goes on you
will be able to rely on Postini's periodic notifications of your Message
Center activity.
- Postini lets you "block" senders; meaning email from them will
always be filtered. Or you can "approve" senders; meaning their
email will always be delivered.
- While this system has proven to be very effective in its ability to filter
junk email and email-borne viruses, it is not 100% successful. Much of
its junk mail filtering abilities are determined by individual settings you
can control in your Message Center. Additionally, experience tells us
that the system is tremendously effective at stopping virus-borne emails
from reaching your computer, however, viruses can also reach you through
means other than just email. Therefore, we continue to encourage all
subscribers to use reputable virus scanning software on their computer and
keep its definitions current
- This service is completely controlled by you.
