    Gmail has a virus scanner

    Gmail has finally got a virus scanner. It will scan incoming mail and attachments you are trying to send. If the virus scanner can not clean the file it will not let you donwload the file or send the attachment. This also will wonder if Google is going to release a free desktop virus scanner.

    e.g. from here (or via the control panel):

    If not, suggests deeper problems. To which uninstall option are you referring? (A picture is worth...)

    GMail Anti-Virus - Powered by Sophos

    A few days ago Google announced a virus-scanner for their e-amil service GMail
    But because didn't reveal what anti-virus software they will be using, a blogger has taken the challenge of finding out.

    By testing several malware against known databases and against the GMail service, he has determined that Sophos is behind the GMail Anti-virus.

    Pretty interesting.
    I wonder why Google didn't want to tell which AV powers GMail ?
