I have been using this for a couple of years & the few Viruses I
have had it has removed OK.
I am very careful with I/C mail & check any I suspect before opening.
Like most people I am getting a large number of Swen messages & I have
deleted them all without opening.
Should my AV delete these on receipt or only if I am silly enough to try to
open them. I don't fancy trying it to see what happens.8^)
TIA
 
If you are suspicious of an attachment you can right click on it and attempt
to save it to a folder somewhere (desktop will do). If EZ doesn't complain
on the save, you *might* have scanned it - what I do then is right click on
it at the saved location and explicity have it checked by EZ.

For what it's worth CA didn't update the EZ signatures until the 19th
(AFAICT) which was the day after I reported it (and I presume zillions of
others did too). The AV vendors work diligently to update their sig files,
but as I tell my clients: the sig files protect you from KNOWN viruses -
you still have to be very wary of opening any file you didn't explicitly
expect was coming (and even then it can still be a virus).

Using the Australian Version of "e Trust EZ Antivirus" = "Vet" which
doesn't find suspect attachments. I also use Zone Alarm Pro which does.
