I'm truly amazed at the number of Virus files that have been sent to us via email this week. We're talking 30+ attempts just in the last few days.
Something has to be done about this problem, as it is now surpassed epidemic levels. There is truly no way a system can survive without anti-virus software that is continuously updated.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem or are we a target of a covert internet conspiracy?

Also getting virus-laden email attachments. Some of these are coming from buyer's emails. They don't intend to send it; don't know till later that they have virus. And it is unknowingly attaching to their email addresses. I need to check virus software for updates daily. This is scary. Jan

I don't get too many viruses as I set up message rules for the common ones. The Snow White virus always comes from Hahaha and the new one, that I can't remember the name of, has a line that says something like "I send you this file in order to have your advice". I just create a message rule for those viruses that have some consistentcy in them and have them deleted from the server so that they aren't even downloaded. Norton catches anything else that gets through.
