[AccessD] Virus mail

I've never gotten a virus at home.  My DSL provider does a good job.
It's my office where I'm having problems and no, we don't have a
firewall in spite of my loud protests.

I've been reading this thread and cannot belive the trouble everyone
faces. I have 6 PC's behind a Linksys DSL router and have NEVER received
a popup or anything.  In two years I would bet that Norton has caught
maybe 10 virus infected emails total for all 6 machines.

Now maybe I'm spoiled with my DSL provider and the filtering job he
does, but I think you all should start throwing fits with those
providing the services.  For example, my brother gets his DSL directly
from Verizon in Fort Wayne, IN and all he gets done is closing pop ups
(and he refuses to put a router on his PC for some reason).

I realize this doesn't help you all out much, but I had to say something
after reading all this.

BTW, I have never received an infected message from the list (as
indicated by the 10 infected messages in two years)
