Amazing. A dedicated anti-virus checker for BOTH sides of BOTH the firewall and the mailhost, that updates its virus definitions every day/hour/minute/ ..., and pretty soon you'll need an EMC array to hold them all. It used to be satisfactory to update definitions once a month. Now thousands of systems can be compromised by a new virus/worm in an hour. I think this is absolutely hilarious, and it points out the utter futility in attempting to keep malware away from Windows. It's a malware magnet and no matter how high the Unix/Linux wall you build around it, it'll find some way to get infected. If they don't come in through the firewall or mailhost, they'll walk in off the street. Stop, please stop! I'm laughing too hard! -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
