mail washer checks for virus etc also as well as my isp and my anti virus
software. My isp gets rid of most of the spam before it gets into my mailbox and
mailwasher cleans up the rest. Without them Id probably get humungous amounts of
spam as I have had the same email address all along.

I think pretty well all email hosts do incoming virus scanning by
default. It costs them little and saves them a lot of bandwidth. Mine
will optionally viruscan outgoing, which is important when you have two
naive netusers on the network. It stops them infecting others and warns
you that they are infected. Fortunately to date nothing has been picked
up.
