Virus Protection — Remove viruses before they reach your computer..

  Spam Filtering
  Unsolicited email, or "spam" as it is called, has become a
  significant and growing concern for Internet service subscribers.
  It is frequently cited as one of the most annoying aspects of the web.
  Recent estimates project that over 50 percent of all email delivered
  today is spam.

  North State is pleased to offer spam filtering as a standard
  component of our email services. Our filtering server processes
  each email sent to a northstate.net address and looks at over 60
  criteria to weed out spam. This feature has significantly reduced
  unwanted email for our Internet customers. Best of all, this service
  is free to all subscribers with an @northstate.net address.

  Virus Protection
  Computer viruses are also a terrible menace on line. New viruses
  are introduced into the Internet each week. Many of them are spread
  through email attachments. North State scans all incoming emails
  for viruses and removes infected messages before they reach your
  computer.

  Although most viruses spread through email, they can infect
  computers in a variety of other ways as well. Our new filtering
  service is not intended to replace the existing virus protection
  software on your computer, but is provided as supplemental
  protection. This service is also free to all subscribers with a
  northstate.net address.
