Since I don't get the digest and rarely see the viruses. . . . .
unless  your ISP filters; remember  you should implement  security in 
layers, possibly consider it the first line of defense [each should have 
protection as well.]   these virii will get through.     (my ISP does 
[they are using brightstor; -not a testimonial-;  based on the few 
ripped-apart messages that do get through]  it can be really  tough to 
get some example code through sometimes_not_ And I have told the only 
prefs available to me & through help desk not to scan my mail ; but it 
does... dang corporate policy for major Canadian telephone company;.... 
Imagine now; they still want me to pay an additional $5.00 /month to get 
me a desktop client, but I don't get the viruses because they already 
filter   ;-p )

Likewise I know I cannot trust this account for receiving any files 
because they are intercepted
each and everyone  ; some still get through ;  user [admin or not] beware
