Nimda Infected HTTP servers will try to also infect anyone browsing the web 
site it is hosting.

Configuring LANguard for ISA server to block eml files through HTTP:

1. In the file checking create a new rule by clicking on "New rule" button

2. Double-click the new rule to modify it.

3. Select all the attachment types and click on remove

4. Click on add and type in eml

5. In the actions tab select Delete object instead of quarantine object.

6. Be sure that both "Notify user via e-mail" and "Notify moderator via e-mail" 
are selected

This rule will make sure that all eml files are blocked at ISA-Server and never 
reach your Internet Explorer clients.
