Surely Ntl can detect these E-mail viruses and bounce them back to source ! This is the 21st Century after all !

Unfortunately it is hard bounce these back to source, as the source is invariably either spoofed os someone on the same ISP - they result would be that the bounced mail would then be bounced back and so on.....
They could detect they viruses by installing some anti-virus software on their mail servers, but that is very expensive when you are a corporate entity as large as NTL (and as short of cash).
In fairness, why should NTL shoulder the responsibility for people who cannot install/maintain their own AV software. It is not NTLs fault that people are daft/non technical enough to not check these attachments and mails before they execute them.
with all the publicity and hooha about viruses, it is hard to believe that anyone who owns a computer which receives Email would not install and update their anti-virus sofware...
