I certainly noticed a lot of viruses around that time (mostly Fizzer &
Bugbear IIRC).  I notice wide fluctuations though - usually when one of
our client or partner companies has a problem they'll flood all their
contacts in our domain which multiple virus mails.  I guess this would
only even out with a massively bigger user base.
