The one bit that stands out like a sore thumb is "spammers".

How many applications require you to stop your virus / mails scan software for complete installs.

How many users would think of disconnecting the PC from the network first?.

A brand new PC, out the box, connected as suggested by the vendor, was set up as a mail relay within in seconds..... and I am supposed to know what I am doing.:)

Your average "I must have a PC for email" would be first on the list of spammers that is nicked.
