"PC-cillin has the capability to scan incoming email for viruses. PC-cillin does this by running a local pop3 proxy daemon (pop3trap.exe). Trend Micro describes pop3trap.exe as follows:
Trend Micro's pop3trap.exe is an application level proxy for POP3 defined in RFC 1939. It forwards the local POP3 client requests to a remote server running on a different machine, mostly at the ISP-side. The service is only accessible from the localhost with IP address 127.0.0.1. The pop3trap.exe application runs transparent in the background and scans all mails received by POP3."
