This program is just wonderful
I'm getting about 10 E-Mails a day with attached viruses (probably from people that love me ) and the program just detects EVERYTHING
I'm actually saving the viruses on the vault, so when I have a little time, I'll return the viruses to the originators. ( I have all the trace back headers on some )

Hum hum... Don't you know a lot of viruses use zombie machine as post relay ?
More, in email as in real life, how to eradicate a virus ? By destroying ALL the instances. One source is enought to contiminate the whole planet.
By sending back a virus to someone you just jeopardize the whole Internet ! Just think about that.

Some are relayed, and some are stupid people that don't know what they are doing, and theiy can be traced back As long as Microsoftr exists, we will always have computer viruses I guess I'll go back to my BSD E-Mail client, which just won't care about the MS attachments
That way I don't have to worry, and I don't even need an anti virus.
I might just do that

I thought you were on thunderbird
Firefox + thunderbird. Who need others ?

I am Nobody
But the fact is that even if you use Thunderbird on WIn$ows, the viruses can still trigger, if you don't have a good antivirus.
On BSDs, any M$ virus is just a binary joke file

Hi Karl,
Then I should assume that those new *nix Antivirus programs were made to deal with real *nix threats only, am I right?
I thought that *nix viruses were myths...
Cheers

There are Virus for cellular phones now ! Any operating system has its viruses.

Note: M$ recently bought the most important anti-virii editor on linux !

They are myth, as long as you are running as a regular user, and not as super user.
I always run my BSD box as my user name, and only log on as "root" to do maintenance. So if I download some weird virus (I have NEVER seen any viruses on FreeBSD, by the way), and it screwes up the system, it would only mess up my personal "home" directory and everything below it. None of the system files will get screwed up, because of the *nix permissions.
