I need a solution

Hello,

Need help!

On 18 October the SMG discovered significant increase in amount of malware threats/viruses, (inbound email message summary):

Also, I am getting some emails, SUBJECT: "Symantec Messaging Gateway Alert - Outbreak detection"

======================= ALERT NOTIFICATION ================================               

The system detected 453415 viruses in the past 1 day.  

Virus: 453415
Worms: 0
Encrypted attachment: 4
Suspect Virus: 0
Adware and Spyware: 0 

Our scanners are dealing with lot of virus messages and the system resource usage is pretty high:
Sometimes CPU Usage are between 80-100%:

All Scanners: processor cores: 4, total memory: 12 GB, disk: 120 GB. (Backup scanner means that MX record is not defined).

And emails like that: SUBJECT: "Symantec Messaging Gateway Alert - Swap space utilization exceeds the configured limits"

The swap space utilization on the following hosts has reached the threshold (60%):  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Host                     Swap used                Swap free                Date

Are there any good ideas out there? How to avoid or reject these massive virus overload...
