Well, receiving viruses can be a nuisance whether or not the virus can do anything bad to you or not.

And there is always the possibility of passing them on.

IMHO, if you can stop a virus or trojan or whatever, do it. As was said above, you could pass it on. I always download to a quarantine directory and run clamscan on it. Irun all of my mail through clamav/milter, bogofilter and spamassassin. The odds of me passing on a virus is fairly remote. It eats a few CPU cycles, but it's well worth it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If it's stupid and it works...it ain't stupid! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
