Re: Take a look at security update for Microsoft Internet Explorer

I get about 250-300 a day, thankfully only on 1 of my numerous email

finished each time it detects a virus.  Mozilla is filtering most of it. 
 Gotta love junk mail filters, but I will have to compress the database 
when this is all done, cos it is gonna be a mess.
