Details about our scanning service Our scanning service can be split into two areas as follows:   Anti Virus Through our partnership with EMF and Symantec Corporation, Message Cleaner has incorporated the power of Symantec Security Response into our scanning service providing around-the-clock support and analysis.

Symantec automatically sends updates to virus filtering rules, without requiring any system administration.
