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.
