Vito, we receive over 1500 spams a day on a regular basis. Our virus count
is over 200 per day. I don't think paranoia is quite the word for it.

You're prolly right. Not a single virus-carrying email for over a year

then
several dozen in a week is prolly coincidental. Sounds like the same

logic
that bans swords. Comes from hanging upside down (c:

WOW! And I thot I was popular! Its so bad that gummymint nets are refusing
all inputs from some major ISPs (PeoplePC for one)

What was the '60s line - being paranoid doesn't mean they ain't out to get
you - or something like that.

It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you...

At one point in time (approx a year ago) every time I logged on to ASA
there was a serious attempt at hacking into my computer. AFAIK no
success, in fact I counterhacked a little bit and got some surprising info.

BTW Vito if you don't have out on usenet other than to come here, you
will see an increase in spam due to usenet being such prime spambot
harvesting territory. This is why I eventually submitted to munging my
email addy.

I believe someone famous said that. It's not as bad as it seems though.
The filters work really, really well. Haven't seen a virus make it through
in months, and then it's caught by the individual system anti-virus
software,
which is regularly updated. Probably 10 regular spams make it through in
a 5 day period.
