On my workstation (Win2k with Outlook) I let Norton update itself whenever a
new definition file is available. I also keep the virus protection on the
server boxes updated manually.
Our mail server is on a Mac, so it is pretty safe. :-)
So far, we've got clients (people using our mail server, etc) who are
complaining about the jump in infected files, but we've not gotten infected
ourselves.

: I'm assuming everyone is covered by spam at the moment can can't post. If
: so,
: how about using CF to do your cleanup for you. Use CFPOP to get all the
: headers
: from your mail box (or maybe the first 20-50 at a time) and then run this
: against the returned query:
: SELECT Subject
: FROM Spam
: WHERE (DomainChecked = 0) AND (Subject LIKE '%Thank you%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%Approved%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%Details%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%Wicked screensaver%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%movie%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%your application%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%attachment%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%failure%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%failed%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%returned%' OR
: Subject LIKE '%virus%')
: ORDER BY Subject
: Anything that comes back can be routed to the screen so you can view the
: subject
: and other info. If its spam, just tell CFPOP to delete it. Saves on the
: downloading and can even be automated more.
: If you have access to your mail server, I've got an additional script
: suggestion
: that'll do the job automatically by detecting any mail files with
: viruses in
: them. Just needs CF, CFDIRECTORY, a CFX and a CFIF.
