A member of MessageLabs Group, MessageLabs was formed in 1999, born out of Star Internet, one of the UK’s largest independent business ISPs. MessageLabs initially provided Internet-level only managed email virus scanning services, but quickly saw increased demand for additional email security services.

As a result of the company’s success in providing the first Internet-level email virus scanning service in Europe, MessageLabs gained worldwide recognition as the first company to intercept and name the Lovebug virus in May 2000. Since then, MessageLabs has provided industry-leading protection to its customers from email virus threats.

The company has also become, through its MessageLabs Intelligence group, a highly respected source of data and analysis for email security issues, trends and statistics. It has played a crucial role in alerting the public to the dangers of viruses, spam and other email threats, including naming most of the major email virus outbreaks over the last three years.
