Is Benign any good?

Benign
"Stop viruses, worms, scripts, web bugs and other nasties from attacking your computer, using this powerful email neutralizing software"


Benign takes in e-mail and simply produces, safer e-mail
Imagine being able to receive e-mail which is safe from viruses, worms, scripts, web bugs, privacy threats and other security risks, without affecting your e-mail.

You mean Firetrust Begnign, yes? Firetrust also makes MailWasher Pro, which I have reviewed favorably here. I haven't tried Begnign because I already use Norton AV, and the extra features of Begnign over NAV - it strips out HTML, web bugs, and externally linked images - are not enough to justify its expense, in my opinion. It claims to stop unknown viruses, but that consists of placing all attachments into "quarantine" by default, it isn't an AV scanner.

However, if I use MailWasher as a measure of quality, then the program is likely well written.
