Since subscribing to an email filtering service last year, all my
incoming mail gets filtered for all threats including viruses and even
spam, all for about a dollar per month.
I used to get viruses and around 150-175 pieces of spam per day and
waste at least an hour per day screening them to make sure I don't
delete something important. These days perhaps one or two spam messages
slip through and absolutely no viruses or worms. I can't imagine how I
did without it before and highly recommend it!
