Re: I HATE antivirus scanners

Since my email server virus scan program striped the 'virus' it found and
added a warning message. I was not
able see the 'source' that it was complaining about. I would like to
understand why my server's anti-virus filter would
react at all to anything besides a binary. I take it that the original was
html, my browser can render html, but; how was
the anti-virus filter convinced of a incident when none existed (or only
one within an IE browser). Please comment.

Regards,
Mike
