It's largely in how you use outlook. I have been very actively running OL (not express) on my work and home machines as my sole email client since its lame beginnings in 95 with never an infection by virus, trojan, or worm. Hoaxes - yes.

And if you don't use MS Outlook or Outlook Express, you pretty much don't need to worry if they get by the filter. My problem with this whole thing is that many people stand there with a huge target painted on themselves and then try to put enough plexiglass between them and the snipers. Get smart. Get rid of Outlook. Use something, ANYTHING, else. No offense, and I'm not singling anyone out. I'm just being realistic here. tom |
