what kind of message? were you sending or receiving it?
AFAIK they haven't... they have blocked netsky and bagle being sent by people on their network but i haven't heard anything about filtering on the pop servers. It sounds like a spoof message.
Can you post the message and headers so we can have a look pls?

Re: NTL Antivirus
Its fake, the virus tries to lure you into opening it by adding stuff like
+++ BITDEFENDER ANTIVIRUS
+++ NO INFECTIONS DETECTED
+++ www.bitdefender.com
Ive also had em for Mcafee, F-Secure, etc... All in the same format

Re: NTL Antivirus
Yer, I've had several similar to this.
I use Mailwasher and this allows me to preview a message before downloading it. I can also preview the raw message and this reveals the sender's IP address. When I can be bothered, I copy this address and go and paste it into the second box in the middle column of:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/
If it turns out to be from a UK source (and especially NTL) I'll download it. Norton AV will replace the attachment with a simple virus message and then I copy and paste it to the an abuse report for the ISP.
NTL have an abuse report form you can fill in here:
http://www.ntlworld.com/netreport/
...but note I have never ever received any indication from NTL that this does any good. On the other hand, Energis provide loads of follow up information.
