The online world is a brave new world indeed. Along with everything that
entails comes the threat of viruses which can spread with unprecedented
speed and stealth. Virus scanners have answered the call by providing online
updates, routine scanning and a whole host of other features.
Some of the latest offerings are even free, including c4.net's integrate
e-mail virus scanning solution. For more information on the latter,
contact us. However,
regardless of whether or not c4.net scans your mail at the server level,
you will need a local virus scanner installed on your computer. Here are
some options:

program itself. In cases where you can't be sure that the virus
scanner hasn't been compromised, Trend Micro's HouseCall is a
unique solution, allowing you to scan your PC from the Internet
for free.
