I noticed on CPanel's website, there is an option for Virus scanning. The CPanel demo is v10, which is what Bluehost uses, but I do not see that option.
The reason I am asking is I recently encountered a virus in one of my emails. However, it was never downloaded to my computer because BoxTrapper caught it. However, when I recently used the backup function to Download Home Directory, it included all the BoxTrapper emails. Hence, I now have a virus on my computer. Whether or not it was able to self execute on its own, I don't know, but McAfee took care of it.
I guess it would be nice if we were able to run a virus scan on the server, tho I would hope Bluehost scans for viruses periodically.
Anyone know why BlueHost would opt not to install this feature on CPanel? Seems like a no-brainer to me. Or does anyone know other antivirus programs or that could achieve the same thing?
