All and all it has been way down for me as well.  In mid 2005 I was averging 
around 100K-200K viruses a month (with AVAFTERJM).  That has been dropping and 
dropping.  In 2006 the highest for any give month I had was 22K.  This year I 
have had nothing over 2,500.  With running AVAFTERJM a lot of viruses also get 
tagged as spam.  In 2003 we averaged around 400K+ viruses per month (which 
dropped by more than half when AVAFTERJM was enabled).  Other things like 
greylisitng also helps twart viruses.  

Come to think about it I can't remember the last major virus trying to come in 
(mydoom?) that we had to deal with.

  Subject: [Declude.Virus] virus via e-mail getting rare


  Hi,

  Is "virus via e-mail" a dying breed? There are days where I barely get any 
virusses via e-mail. Most of what get's caught is malfomed mail, 99% spam.

  I just did a test to see if my virusscanners are still working correctly, 
eicar is still being caught by both F-prot and Sophos so all seems to be 
woking. Both scanners are also correctly updating their database.


  Met vriendelijke groet,
