__________________________________________________________________________
Usage Considerations and Examples
__________________________________________________________________________
The eTrust Content Inspection Personal Edition (eTCIPE) protects users from
e-mails and their attachments in the following ways:
* If the attachment is a VBS file, the e-mail client environment will be
protected against the execution of the VBS by eTCIPE (VBS file execution
is totally blocked).
* If the attachment is an HTML file containing VBS code, opening the
HTML file (which would typically invoke the VBS functions) will also be
protected against (blocked) by eTCIPE.
* If the e-mail has no attachment, but contains inline VBS code that
your e-mail client would typically execute automatically, it will also be
protected by eTCIPE (VBS functions will be blocked).
* If the attachment is an EXE file, eTCIPE will permit the normal execution
of that attached EXE if, and only if, that EXE does not attempt any access
to the disk. Any attempt to access the drives by the attached EXE when
executed from the e-mail client environment will be blocked.
A user may of course make the conscious and deliberate decision to accept
an attachment and execute it. To accomplish this, the user must explicitly
save the attachment to disk, and then execute that attachment from an
environment other than the e-mail client.
Examples:
* A user gets an e-mail with a VBS attachment called ILOVEYOU.VBS. If the
user opens the attachment from the e-mail environment, eTCIPE will detect an
attempt to execute VBS from this environment and block the execution. The
VBS will not execute and the user will get a message on the screen reporting
that the execution was blocked.
* A user gets an e-mail with an EXE file from a colleague. If the attached
EXE is invoked from the e-mail client environment, the EXE will begin to
execute and will be closely and automatically monitored by eTCIPE. If the
EXE file that is executing from the e-mail client environment attempts to
access any disk files for any reason, it will be blocked (execution will
terminate).
