What are virus scanning and virus cleaning?

Virus scanning is the process of checking files to see if they contain known viruses. Virus cleaning is the process of removing the detected virus from the file so that the file can be used safely. (Some files contain only viruses and no salvageable content, and in these cases, cleaning is not possible.)

Yahoo! Business Email provides free scanning and cleaning using Norton AntiVirus for all Yahoo! Business Email users.

Note: The virus scanner may not be able to detect or repair all viruses and variants. Please be aware that there is a risk involved whenever downloading email attachments to your computer or sending email attachments to others, and that, as provided in the Terms of Service, neither Yahoo! nor its licensors are responsible for any damages caused by your decision to do so. Yahoo! Business Email recommends that you never download attachments from an unknown source.
