That *used* to work, but since the advent of ZIP-based viruses, it doesn't
anymore. (Unless you can block ZIP and RAR files, but many users need them.)
Antivirus isn't the whole solution, either; I've gotten a number of viruses
that F-Prot missed and TF caught. (I send them to F-Prot when that happens;
hopefully it won't happen to others then...)
I get 25 viruses a day now (along with 850 spams); it's too much to store
somewhere. (The first month that TF kept statistics, I got about 300 spam a
day.)
