    Mine (Comporium) does - and a pretty good job of it, actually. (That's the reason I have only one AV program on the computer itself). Pete

    My ISP is a very small outfit in rural Missouri, yet he has the best AV protection that can be offered. KAV. :D :D :D

    I never get a chance to see those squiggly little worms or anything else really. Just get emails.

    BTW How you doing buddy?

    I've almost got to assume that the answer is 'yes' as I've yet to receive an infected email ... but I'll be contacting them later to verify this now that the question has been raised.

    I have a couple of email addresses taht are virus filtered.

    one uses NAV and the other uses mcaffee

    I frequently have emails sent to both addresses taht still have infected contents get through, but NOD detects and stops them

    less gets through the NAV one than the mcaffee one though, but any ISP server level protection is only as good as how often the isp updates and many are not very quick at updating,

    My dial up ISP does have virus filtering of email as a free option. My broadband ISP (Comcast) doesn't. It should IMO.

    mine does, I use ZEN internet in the uk, they only do it for leased lines tho (businesses only) but then again we have an AV on our gateway server (Linux) and on our mail server both of which face the internet directley, we also use desktop scanners should anything slip past, which it invariably does.
