12.1. Welho Data Security virus protection and firewall
Virus protection and firewall provide efficient protection against damage caused by viruses, worms, Trojans and other malware as well as attempts by hackers to int-rude your computer – without you having to worry about updates. Once the virus protection and firewall have been installed on your computer, the service is automatically updated online as long as the service is active.
Virus protection and firewall services are not automati-cally included in all Welho subscriptions. To order yours, visit the Welho Store or call Welho’s customer service.
One order number allows you to install the service to three computers. In addition, free basic services included in every Welho subscription are centralised virus scanning for Welho email addresses and, if you like, spam filtering.
Welho Data Security is a safe and effortless way to pro-tect your computer. Welho Data Security is produced in cooperation with F-Secure.
We recommend that you install the Welho Data Security virus protection and firewall program in conjunction with the initial installation of your broadband connection.
12.1.1 Minimum hardware requirements Pentium II 600 MHz or higher recommended.
NB!
12.1.3. Previous data security installations If you have another previously installed data security program on your computer, check the data security soft-ware table to see if Welho Data Security will identify and remove the previously installed program.
You will not need to uninstall previously installed versions of Welho Data Security as the new installation program will do this automatically during the installation process.
If your previously installed data security program is not included in the table, uninstall the program before pro-ceeding to install Welho Data Security.
The installation program identifies the Windows XP fire-wall and automatically disables it.
You will find the data security software table at www.welho.fi -> Service management -> Data Security Installation.

12.2 Basic services
Centralised virus scanning for email
The centralised virus scanning feature checks every message and attachment arriving in your Welho mailbo-xes. Any infected messages, including attachments, are destroyed. This way most email messages infected with a virus will be eliminated before they reach your computer.
The service is on automatically for all subscribers and all Welho mailboxes.
NB!
Centralised virus scanning protects your computer from most viruses spread via email, but it will not provide comprehen- sive protection against viruses as it does not cover other email services (such as Hotmail etc.). You are best protected with a virus protection program installed on your computer so make sure you have this absolutely essential protection.
Spam filtering
The centralised spam filtering feature automatically scans all messages arriving in Welho’s mailboxes You can choose whether the service labels messages as spam and directs them as usual into your inbox or destroys any messages suspected as spam. If the filtering facility has been set up to mark spam, the system will add the text
*** SPAM *** in the subject line of messages classified as spam.
You can change the spam filtering settings specifically for each mailbox. To edit spam filtering settings, go to the Email page or, if you are the main user, in User Manage-ment under user information Edit page.
Good to know about data security
It is essential for your data security that you update your operating system regularly. For Windows operating system updates and instructions visit http://windowsup-date.microsoft.com. Computer worms that spread on the Internet exploit any security breaches. To prevent the spread of worms, Welho has, on the basis of information received from the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (FICORA), blocked access to telecommunicati-on ports used by Windows operating systems that involve a data security risk. Applications using these ports will not function when the ports are blocked. To see the list of blocked ports and protocols visit the Welho Data Secu-rity pages of the Broadband section of www.welho.fi.
