Attachments to News Group Posts

[Philip K.]

Hi Everybody,
IPs like AOL and Virus Applications like Norton claim to check email and
other downloads for virus infections.
1. Does that virus check also include attachments to the posts in a News
Group.
2. Are there any other kind of downloads which may go unchecked.

I would think... most people know better than to OPEN attachments from
people they don't know in Usenet Newsgroups.
