| No. What would it do? I don't know of any UNIX viruses.
I don't mean scanning for UN*X viruses, I mean scanning people's
e-mails for any Windows 95 / DOS viruses etc. Basically so that
people who pick up their mail from us have the reassurances that
their e-mail attachments don't contain viruses. Their are
products available for NT that do this so I don't see why
UN*X wouldn't have a product that does this.
