Hi Douglas,
Yes, the Microsoft guy said they don't like any of them, and they are
totally unnecessary.
All the best

Thanks for this, Steve. That puts a rather different light on the matter.
The person I spoke to
at eset, if I understood him correctly, seemed to be saying that they
include plug ins to scan
mail (where possible) on entry to the PC, because customers want them, but
they are only an
extra level of protection and the real time scanning should prevent any
malicious attachment
causing trouble.
Of course, unlike you, I do not hav antivirus protection at the server
level, but perhaps I am
being a little paranoid about the Gmail not being scanned.
Presumably what the Microsoft rep said applies to AVG, Avast, Norton etc.
etc. as well as the
Eset products.
