It's the Mailwasher that catches it. I run a gateway router/firewall that is
physically in front of the PC that acts as the server for the wireless
network in the house.

All I know is I've been without Norton for 2 years and Zonealarm has stopped
all virii.  I've been using Mailwasher too for the last 6 months. It is
before Zonealarm and will stop any email problems before you actually
download them.
