ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing protection from exploits to devices connected to a network. The system and method include a component for determining whether an encapsulation has been applied to an attachment associated with a message and unencapsulating such encapsulated attachment, and a component that performs at least one decompression of the attachment when the attachment is compressed. If it is determined that the message, including the attachment, is to be scanned, a component is included that determines whether a header, body, and/or attachment of the message includes exploits. A device that receives messages that are directed to the network employs the components above to provide exploit protection for at least one of the messages.
