The only ad's that I have seen for this are MSN-TV which is just the renamed
WebTV and since it does not have any "normal OS" the chance of it getting a
virus is rather small, however it can of course pass on a virus to another
computer, althou the few people I know of that have it, say the filtering is
very good. Also I am not sure if this is correct or not, but was told the
old WebTV could only have TXT or JPG attachments.
