I have a e-mail account on www.HotPOP.com. I configured my Outlook Express
to access using the POP service. Everything works perfectly!!! But this site
has been a target for the Mytob worm last week, and the other week, and
today... AGAIN!! My AVG 7.0 says that the incoming mails (yes plus than one
coimg from support@hotpop.com and webmaster@hotpop.com (you all know what
does it means) ) has been infected with a new version of the worm (EK) My AV
is always updated...i have not problem to be infected now, but this
"vulnerability" made nervous....today is the "inofensive" Mytob (i call it
in this way because it doesnt seem to make a big damage) but tomorrow could
be another MYDOOM. So i did one thing. I went to hotpop.com and active the
Forwarding mail service. So the mails on Hotpop now go to my
xxxxxx@yahoo.com.mx (acting as a filter) But im worried if "yahoo" will
consider my "hotpop" mails as spam or delete them because they contain the
virus mytob... I even dont know if the mails when "arrive" clean to
Hotpop.com will "go out" infected. And finally i dont know if I'm making a
SPAM CONTRIBUTION... with this "go here now and then go there"

Any help please??

How about Pegasus mail ?
It is highly recommended, has better spam and content filtering as is much
lighter (size).

than M$ programs.

P-mail is totally free (unless you want a printed manual) and its considered a
Safe Hex
e-mailer.
