It says so on Symentec's web site where it discusses the problem. I'm trusting them to be telling me the truth!! LOL My cable company does nothing at this point that I'm aware of for viruses. However, they change things like that all of the time. I did not receive the onslaught of viruses into my computer that I anticipated - I didn't (knock on wood) receive it once! so maybe my cable company did finally put a filter for viruses on. I know they finally put a spam filter on. It filters about .01% of the spam!! LOL They told me they aren't legally allowed to filter any more than they do. they get an official list they have to go by. I had an interesting discussion with the tech about their list and how it is made up and what comes thru.

So How do you know you're emails are protected by Norton? As to ISP servers protecting from viruses -- no thanks. I couldn't get on the Internet or use email (except intermittently) for 3 days because my ISP wasn't ready for the sobig virus that struck. Don't think they have it completely plugged yet because it seems like 1 out of 5 emails I get are that virus and Norton catches them all.
