I delete all such garbage from the server, never having wasted the bandwidth on downloading it. My wife uses nPOP on her notebook PC, to pre-screen before opening Outlook Express and grabbing the real mail. Her spam and viral attachments likewise never make it off the mail server. Still, she does AVG updates at least every week, just in case something sneaks past her regimen.

Please note that this virus is
not spread by email or email attachments, rather via vunerable port scans. The AV will not help in these circumstances, it's the Firewall that keeps it out.
