Worm Filter (pop3guard)

Pop3Guard scans your email as you download it and replaces suspicious character sequences such as "<IFRAME" and "<Script". It works by running a virtual pop3 server on your machine that your email client connects to instead of your ISPs.

How to use the scanner !
Download the exe file to a directory on your hard drive. Next create a file called 'pop3guard.bat' in the same directory and open it in notepad. Copy and paste the following line into it, changing the arguments as appropriate.
  POP3GUARD.EXE <Remote-IP> <Remote-Port>
 Where:
  <Remote-IP>   : The IP Address of the remote pop3 server.
  <Remote-Port> : The Port of the pop3 server to connect to.

Next create a shortcut to your bat file and place it into the start-up folder. Then you'll need to re-configure your email client to collect email from localhost (or 127.0.0.2).

Finally if you are intending to use this program for 'real-world' email protection then I would strongly recommend using the option, in your client, to 'leave messages on the server' so that you can retrieve the unfiltered versions at a later date if required. Please note this may require some knowledge of the pop3 protocol.
