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! http://www.lanechange.net/html/email_defense.shtml Check it out.
