Internet virus e-mails are as pesky to deal with as human viral illness. Internet virus packets work in the same way as a human virus.

Having a viral filter on your gateway, mail server, and desktop is a must in today's world. It is not uncommon for an average network ito be attacked by 100 virus packets per week or more. Microsoft desktops are more susceptible to viral attacks than Linux desktops, but both need to have virus packets filtered from their e-mail.
