I am using Declude.Virus and in the last 3 days it has caught over 1500
emails that were infected with this virus !
I am getting more emails back (from the people that have been notified about
the caught virus) than I have in returned error messages, etc... Not only do
our customers love us for having added the virus scanning, but other people
all over the internet do too !
I love this software !
Jim
ps: and i DON'T own stock in Declude !
