nasty business these viruses. I have my Norton going every 5 minutes on the mail folders for the server and I'm still getting them.

I have filters on all the known attachments for the Netsky and Beagle and they still come through.

Nasty business for sure. The next step is just to ban all attachments for a while until it settles down.

What a pain.
