I do not people not have checkers is the issue.
The pain is when you receive constant viruses in your mail.
Most checkers give popups/warnings every time it encounters something.
Though I have not really received that much on here. There have been lists
where I have got a10-16 viruses a day. I do not think you would be happy if
every time you went to check your mail you had to go through dialogue
regarding viruses in your mail. It starts to become a nuisance, more so
then spam in my opinion.
As most people are "lazy."
I Like to check it and leave as do the majority of us lazy people.
