HughesNet Email Defense offers improved anti-spam and virus protection for all HughesNet (@HughesNet.com) email accounts. Email Defense protects all HughesNet email accounts against unwanted emails (spam) and other email security threats such as computer viruses, worms, and phishing attacks (defined below) while making the subscribers email experience hassle free. HughesNet Email Defense is free and included with every HughesNet email account.

HughesNet Email Defense uses state-of-the-art technology including stacked layered filters, anti-virus engines, and fraud protection systems to screen both inbound and outbound email messages. With this technology, up to 98% of spam and malicious email content is blocked preventing email threats from entering the subscriber's computer. Although HughesNet Email Defense blocks spam, subscribers remain in control of the email blocking by indicating their spam preferences with an easy-to-use tool that identifies which emails are spam.

• Unwanted email (spam) and ensures subscribers receive the email they want
• Email viruses, worms and other types of email security threats

This added protection for HughesNet email accounts does not protect subscribers from security threats originating from other sources than HughesNet email accounts. Subscribers should use other types of anti-virus and malicious content blocking protection available commercially, so their computers are fully protected.
