[NAC] Virus threat

[Robert Myers]

My version of AVG will intercept the information from the URL after 
clicking on it and will report details about the nature of the 
"infection".  I get ample warning.  So ample, in fact, that I feel 
pretty comfortable just going ahead and getting the 
information.  Usually I don't but...

For example this one gives: discounthivmeds as the file name and 
explains that it exploits the drug spammers connection.

As you say, Bart, this crap comes in frequently and usually I just 
delete it after telling my junk filter that it is junk mail.
