How can a SPAM filter product like Cloudmark help my users protect against viruses?

Cloudmark will then tag this as SPAM and now any Cloudmark customers receiving this message will be protected at this message will automatically be moved to their SPAM folder where it will not be opened and will not be able to harm anything.
