2. There is no need to update! Benign fully rewrites each e-mail and removes any malicious code it may contain, effectively removing both known and unknown security threats. Benign gives users unparalleled protection from destructive e-mail borne threats, unlike many update-required-programs that frequently leave systems vulnerable to attack.

3. Benign works extremely quickly and doesn’t slow e-mail retrieval down. Once set up, you don’t even know it’s there! Benign picks up your messages before your e-mail program does and safely neutralises any harmful content before it reaches your computer.

4. Benign’s useful reporting function allows users to view logged e-mail that have been neutralised. Users can issue a comprehensive report showing e-mail attachments that have been stripped, non-standard html and other security hazards that have been removed.

5. With fully customizable configuration options, users have total control over their e-mail security. Users can select from three preset levels of security that are further customizable, or they can choose to configure their own security levels. Users have the flexibility to control behaviour such as blocked and renamed attachments, remove HTML, adjust privacy features and much more.

6. Benign is an entirely independent application that does not depend on any central functionality – so there are no scalability issues.
