DWX is committed to our customer's safety and enjoyment of their internet experience. We go to great lengths to stay on the cutting edge of security measures that keep you and your computer protected from the dangers & annoyances associated with internet use.


E-Mail Viruses
Viruses, worms, Trojan Horse files, pests... all passed along via e-mail. Studies have found that new versions of these problems are surfacing almost daily. DWX employs state-of-the-art e-mail screening software to scan everything that's sent to your e-mail address. When we find a known danger, we kill it immediately so it never reaches your PC.

Spam
Spam doesn't stand a chance against you & DWX . Our Spam filtering system identifies anything that looks suspicious and tags it, allowing you to browse your e-mail box quickly and without playing hit-n-miss with your e-mail messages.

Our Professional Spam Blocker puts state-of-the-art technology at your fingertips. Suspected spam is pulled aside into quarantine. You control whether to view it or kill it. Quarantining, rather than automatically killing suspected spam, means your e-mail isn't hindered by 'false positives' (good e-mail, misidentified as bad) getting deleted.

You can also have the system automatically delete or automatically allow all messages from a specified sender.

That's complete control and security of your DWX e-mail. No need to buy additional anti-spam software.

Spyware & Adware
Hidden programs that are placed on your machine by advertisers or less-than-honorable people to keep track of your activities. DWX provides you with a line of defense against these unwanted spies. Our Members Page makes anti-Spyware software available to our members and we highly recommend that you install Spyware protection & update it regularly.

Computer Anti-Virus
Viruses... They bog down your machine - at a minimum - and can be very dangerous to your computer's health, as well as your own personal security. DWX makes effective anti-virus programs available on our Member's Page. We strongly recommend you install & regularly update an anti-virus program to keep your computer free of the problems associated with these rogues and operating at its highest level.

Pop-Up Blockers
Is there anything more annoying than pop-up ads?! Every DWX internet service plan works with all major Pop-Up killing software. The Pop-Up blocking feature of your operating system will run smoothly with any DWX service plan.

Firewall
Firewall software guards against unauthorized remote access to your PC and its contents... DWX internet service provides complete compatibility for all major firewall programs. Many effective programs are available, often at no cost to the individual user.



Account Security
Of course, your e-mail address and personal account information will never be made available to marketers or any other third party.



F.Y.I.
What is a computer virus?
A virus is a program or programming code that replicates by being copied or initiating its copying to another program, computer boot sector or document. Viruses can be transmitted as attachments to an e-mail or in a downloaded file, or be present on a diskette or CD. The immediate source of the e-mail, downloaded file, or diskette you've received is usually unaware that it contains a virus. Some viruses have an effect as soon as their code is executed; other viruses lie dormant until circumstances cause their code to be executed by the computer.

What is a worm?
A worm is a virus that replicates itself by resending itself as an e-mail attachment or as part of a network message.

What is Spyware?
Spyware and Adware are software programs that gather information about you and your computer system without your consent or knowledge. This information is commonly used to profile you for targeted advertising, but Spyware can also gather important information such as e-mail addresses, passwords and credit card numbers. Other forms of Spyware may redirect you to different Internet sites when you are surfing the Internet.
