#Virus threats within emails? Certainly, if a virus in an email is a

itself
#it a threat.

#Beside that, this non-firewall (it's a host-based packet filter!)

Next would be flattening the system, it's hopelessly lost. Next... uhm...
well, actually you don't need anything special. Configure the system
correctly, shut down unnecessary services, use non-broken software, and
never start harassing the system with pseudo security software again.

I love lurking in this forum. You never learn anything at all from
Sebastian G.; you learn that everything is a load of rubbish and
everyone is an idiot, but he never tells you what that Godly expert
would do instead. Probably because he hasn't got a clue what to do
instead but just like the sound of his own loud voice (or the sight of
his own typing). "You don't want to do this", "You don't want to do
that". S.G. You're not related to Harry Enfield by any chance, are you?

agreed, I just gave him a chance to come to the same conclusion.
