Hi,

I have no idea what happened to my posting! Having said that the whole new forum stuff seems to be a bit shaky at the moment, so perhaps its a victim of some initial gremlins...probably based on forums package not bboard... dunno though.

Anyway, I see no reason why you can't run a virus checker locally that scans inbound files and accepts/rejects them. I didn't realise thats all you wanted to do.

Surely then its just case of installing your favourite, corporate, super-sanitation-virus-sweeper thingumy...

Actually I am the only one who wonders whether virus checking is a self-perpetuating business? After all who is it keeps knocking out just enough viruses to keep the industry in business, and just underly complex enough that Norton can keep figuring them out?
