Antivir - what about the emails?| geek_kvb | August 26, 2008, 6:54 pm | #1 | | Antivir - what about the emails? Have downloaded the Free Antivir, but notice it does not scan emails, which is probably where most of viruses would come in thru?? - should I pay to get it upgraded - does anyone know what $$ is costs |
