The ISP that hosts my website and provides my mail has a virus-checker running on the pop and smtp servers. This means that I *cannot* receive a virus, and if I accidently catch one it can't be sent either. He keeps the virus-checker totally up to date. That's much more sensible than just blocking certain types of attachments. I don't run any anti-virus software, and in 6 years of regular internet use I've never had a virus. Not once. Mark
