I think it should be made a hangable offence to be caught without current and up-to-date software on your PC.

This latest Virus is really starting to p1ss me off!

Damn right. Just got 3 e-mails and ALL of them were bloody Novarg. Still, when you've got a constantly updated AV, it's like shooting ducks in a barrel.

But seriously, why doesn't every ISP offer automatic and fully updated AV? Then viruses would go phut - no?

But it's the AV companies writing all the viruses anyhow.

Seriously, I'm an engineer, and have no idea what positions are available in our sales teams, but there is a jobs section on our website.

If you think all ISPs should use our service that's the right attitude

As I posted in a thread earlier, we process over 25 million e-mails per day to remove e-mail security threats for corporates, and have stopped more than 1.8 million copies of this latest virus in the last day and a half! Earlier today we were stopping over 50,000 copies an hour I don't have the latest hourly catch rates....

Ah, MessageLabs..... I helped the founders of the company out on one of the virus engines you use (worked for the company that supplied it)....plus added some additional parts to make it work properly for the towers.... neat solution...

Small world indeed...
