Our users at work aren't having any XP problems either. We rely on our
various levels of virus checker to keep their machines free (from viruses).

And that is where ours are stopped too.

Mail is checked by an outside providor, our mail gateway, and every
mailserver that the message passes through on its way to the user. The
users' workstations also run a virus checker, auto updated by the server.

We don't run anything virus related on the Linux machines...
