[TechAssist] [TechAssist]Re: virus pre scanning

You can pre-screen them by using your servers webmail feature instead of your 
normal email program. Most server's "webmail" will list the messages with the 
size of the message (very important) and a checkbox to delete it before opening 
it. Most messages from Techassist are 4K to 12K in size, depending on # of 
replies. The latest messages with the virus were 121K to 126K. If the message 
is larger than 50K and yor're not expecting a JPEG, or something large from the 
sender... it's a virus! Delete it, then you can read the rest or use your 
prefered email program without worrying if your computer's gonna explode when 
you go to the next message.
