MIME

MIME is a file-coding format for sending files. Through this option you can instruct the antivirus to scan all MIME files associated with any message. For more flexibility, the types of MIME files to be scanned or not may be indicated. This also permits you to speed up the process as it avoids the scanning of large image or video files. The types of message files that will be scanned may be any of the following: Applications, Images, Video, Audio, Text, HTML and Others.
