Number of virused e-mails received in n/e/tsurf's inbox, daily.

I am opening this log to keep a record of the number of virus e-mails that come into my inbox on a daily basis. Because their frequency has increased so, it never used to be a daily occurence — and because I fear one day I will no longer be able to function because of the heavy attachments that bog down my line and slow me down. Already I can hardly function without a high speed connection. If I have been spared so far and only have to deal with a bandwidth issue, it's because I have a Mac and do not use Microsoft Outlook.
