Hi
I was looking for one of cisco products, and I went through ASA-5520
product.
I read some lines talking about "protection against and/or block
network viruses".
So, this is marketing statement for me, and I'm not sure if this covers
my need.
I wanted to know specifically does this mean that any HTTP, FTP and
Mail viruses?

I would appreciate any feedback.

Difficult to tell without looking into the reference material.
It appears that there is something non-trivial there, but I'm not
clear exactly what just yet.

Looks like it requires that an AIM-SSM be present.
