For Eblis Parera, e-mail was a time drain. The three PCs in his office that run the Microsoft Windows operating system each had anti-virus software and firewalls running to keep out spam and viruses. But Parera still found himself screening hundreds of messages in the corporate inbox for spam, viruses and other “malware,” or malicious software.
