Story: Swen worm tops virus charts
Posted by: Louis De Bevere (Tuesday 21 October 2003, 7:43 PM)
Some providers (like Belgian Telenet and Skynet) offer to scan / filter viruses at server level. However, this is not for free (it's a monthly cost), so vrius keep reaching customers, instead of being filtered by the provider. Like this, viruses stay longer on the net than they should / could. I think it's the provider's responsibilty to keep *their* email servers clean, not its users.
You can compare it with a public water system. People pay for the drinking water (the abonnement), not to keep it clean.
