We've had quite a few of them hit us... fortunately we're all up to date on our virus scanners. I've setup a virus filter on our main mail server now as well, which should start to handle a few things. Something that surprises me, is the fact ISPs don't run virus scanners. I'm sure that'd probably vut down the speed at which these viruses spread. Although I guess there is a legal issue involved in scanning the emails... but I'm sure they could squeeze that into the signup contract somewhere... 90% of people never read it anyway... so they'd never notice ;) -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60i FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
