Cox Internet has come up with some pretty cool features.
They now have a Virus Protection. That is suppose to catch that "EVIL" virus infected email and delete it. Then send you notification that it has done so. Pretty cool, but I run Norton SystemWorks and I very rarely get a virus. And when I do Norton does a wonderful job of detecting it and taking care of the problem.
Then they have a SPAM blocker. You have an option to have your SPAM sent to a "Special SPAM folder" so you can check to make sure it isn't catching stuff that isn't SPAM. Or you can have them just remove it, so you don't even get it into your Inbox and there by don't have to deal with it at all.
Cool, right! I signed up for the "Send it to the Special SPAM folder" option and found that it wasn't sending any of my "REAL" email to SPAM so I changed my preference to the "Just delete the SHIT" option. NO MORE SPAM!! Woo hoo! This really works. Yippee!
But wait....
20 . . . Count them TWENTY Email Virus Notifications in 4 days!!!
Can you say . . . Legal SPAM!
I don't believe that all of a sudden I am getting all these viri.
I have found no way to get them to stop sending the notification. But I am still checking.
They claim the notices will always come. So you will get the 'We stopped a virus' spam.
