I just bought a water filter, a MSR Miniworks EX, so I don't have to carry as much water. I've been reading up on filters for a while but I have one question that none of the forums or even the instruction manual seem to answer clearly. If the water filter will not filter out viruses, where can I safely use the filter? It seems that anywhere I would be using the filter there is some contamination - agriculture runnoff or towns along a river that I'm sure dump all sorts of things in the water.

Maybe I'm missing the point of a water filter. I don't want to get sick, but would rather travel light so I can enjoy my trip more. I'm thinking about taking the filter back and just carrying water with me.
