Thanks. I searched for spam, virus, and a few other things, but not "bomb" or "MS"! That thread and the other responses here were very helpful. I'm still curious if the spam/virus distinction has much significance anymore. I also wonder how the different systems are at updating to new threats. Broadly, I know there are three patterns: 1) You have to manually tweak it. 2) You train it by identifying spam (Bayesian filters). 3) Somebody else updates it, and you get the updates either automatically (black-hole lists) or by updating the software. Any comments on where the different solutions fit on this dimension? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
