Business Mail doesn do Antivirus checking
I have had Yahoo business mail since the beginning of January. They promote the service as including Norton Antivirus, but in reality they do no scanning at all. If you have the service feel free to send yourself a virus (use the EICAR test virus), and you'll see the feature doesnt work. I called their tech support and they said the engine is currently down...its been several weeks. I asked for a refund on my setup fee and they told me that the "there are no refunds, the service is 'as is' whether it works or not" and too call Symantec if I thought the antivirus had a problem because they don't own that software. Honest, thats what they told me.
