I got this diagnostic message about one copy of the virus attachment. I'm
at least pleased to see that I'm in good company!

Eh, don't feel bad. A few weeks ago when that other worm thing was going
around
I was getting about 600 spams per day. We use Mailwasher, which I believe
is a
free version. My husband tried the pro version for a month and didn't
feel we
needed all the other bells and whistles, but it does trap a lot of spam
before
it gets into the mail program. Also, Zone Alarm, Spybot, etc...some of
these
things overlap, but some things are unique to other types of protection.
You
seem to get a lot of these things. It may be better for you to print off
a copy
of your email addresses and delete them from your address book. Add them
back
in, slowly over time.
