And that would be wrong because?

wasn't it a sort of unfounded speculation that brought this to light. Did they find this for themselves and issue a statement when it was found? With PN's track record II trust them about as far as I can throw them. Their past record is deceipt and spin and cover up, I haven't seen anything to make me believe different yet.

So why should we begin to trust their comments now?

Put a fiver on it?

Let's keep it on topic chaps. Nothing more annoying for someone trying to glean the information to get sidetracked.

Pipex promised it, but we have seen those before about emails, now what was that promise that Carol Axe made...?

Not the time or place for anti pn for the sake of it... stay on topic. by all means open another thread.. all sides have been constructive in helping ... stating the obvious or repeating your mantras aint helping.... a different thread is a more suitable place.

And where is the comment saying, please don't say that Pn have chosen the right path? Or is it that I have very serious doubts about how Pn will perform from past history that get you?

Both of you- Cut it out now please. Both h0tblack and I have requested this on numerous occasions. Take your discussion into another thread please.

Not at all... the thread is "Things you can do to mitigate the email proble,"

you are free to say what you like, is this the place.. (this thread) - no issue about whether I agree or not... current issue is indefensible in any case...

I forgot to give out some other links. If you don't have a proper anti-virus solution already installed I would recommend you buy one ASAP.

In the meantime here are two that are free:

If you are using the online scanner with Trend make sure you use Internet Explorer as it doesn't seem to like FF.

Also you can use antispyware (all free):
