London -- PSINet Europe, the leading provider of Internet business solutions, has announced a new offering for its customers that will give them even greater peace of mind about the security of their email solution.

MessageLabs` flagship portfolio of SkyScan AV (anti-virus), SkyScan AS (anti-spam), and SkyScan AP (anti-porn) services is the only total solution to offer a 100% virus free guarantee to every user, and is now available to all PSINet Europe customers, through a partnership with email and Internet security company CleanPort UK. Emails are scanned at the Internet level, and any infected or suspicious emails stopped before they reach the customer`s network boundary, while Skeptic, MessageLabs` patented heuristics scanner is able to identify new viruses without the need for signatures.

The service is the ideal complement to PSINet Europe`s existing comprehensive e-business packages, and is just the latest step in its mission to provide its customers with the best service and technical support possible. Security is key to achieving this, and with its commitment to zero downtime, its financial stability, and the addition of MessageLabs` scanning system to its portfolio through CleanPort, PSINet Europe is leading the way forward in providing safe, intelligent, e-business infrastructure.

Stephen Scott, UK Managing Director of PSINet Europesaid:"If your business relies on the Internet, any problems with security can have a devastating effect. At PSINet Europe, we understand our customers` need to have an e-business solution that they can fully rely on, and that is why we are delighted to be able to offer this new service, via CleanPort. MessageLab`s scanning products are unique in their method and consistently show the best results - why would we offer our customers anything less?"

Jos White, founder and marketing director at MessageLabs said:"Email has revolutionised the way we communicate, but it can be the fatal gap in a company`s defences. Our scanning service is the only guaranteed way of protecting your business from the huge damage that can be caused by malicious viruses. PSINet Europe`s partnership with CleanPort will allow their customers to benefit from our expertise in this area, helping them protect their brand and assets, maintain productivity and focus on their core competencies."
