The message
from martin contains these words:
Nope. I know exactly what he did, but am not shouting it out for fear of
some little infective oik getting to hear.
I think most people managed to kill Swen. If I wasn't an Agent user I
could have done it on the server.
Automatically?
This was done
in-house, and PDQ. ISTR it was promised 'soon - tomorrow if you're
lucky' or similar. However, the flow suddenly stopped a couple of hours
later.
It existed sometime ago elsewhere. It would be amazing if somebody in
house was to implement something from scratch that was readily
available elsewhere.
That depends on
a) how much it cost, and
b) on the implementer
c) just how good it was
d) and just how good a programmer he is. He is. And formidably bright -
you can read by the light of his proximity.
Are you talking about Swen or a normal antivirus running on the ISP's
server?
I'm talking about the latest rash of worms and Trojans.
Zetnuts no longer get any.
How have they managed to do that?
Wodjer mean? They're killed as they hit the mail servers, so Zetnuts -
that's us - don't have the pleasure of seeing them pile up in our
mailboxen.
I thought he was referring to the ISP, not the users.
He? *NOW* who / what are we talking about?
You!
So whom are you addressing?
Does not compute.

You will be telling us next that Zetnet also identifies and tags
e-mail Spam too.
Well does it?
I told you befo it's a criminal act to interfere with
e-communications without the consent of both the recipient and the
sender.
In this I don't include the one or two Zetnuts who regularly Wumpus
their HDDs and ran the thing out of curiosity.
HTH
I didn't really need any :-)
Anyone who isn't a Zetnut needs some, if only to direct him to
www.zetnet.com
It's not the only good ISP in the world.
No, but it compares very favourably with any other I've come across,
which is why I've stayed with them for more than seven years.
And, be it said, never found the need to subscribe to any other.
