Do you find that web redirection actually stems the flow of calls to the
helpdesk? We find that anything out of the normal usually results in a
customer calling the helpdesk just because they weren't expecting it. We
found this to be true of email notifications as well. The other issue
is, of course, differing what we are doing with those thousands of
annoying ads that make users believe they are infected.
