I'm not Praxis, but after a bout with Nimda last year, I now use Mailwasher to check my files before downloading them off my ISP. www.mailwasher.net I keep spam to a minimum that way too. Got the suggestiion from a gentelman on this forum. Since then only 2 virus have even reached my computer-- and Norton got those. I was getting 6 or 7 alerts a day! Emily
