Especialy because you are using outlook you realy NEED anti virus software.
Virus makers make it a hobby to attack microsoft products. Especialy outlook
express.

A few weeks ago (almost a month i believe) somebody posted the navidad
virus to the list. It was not a big problem because people found it fast
enough
and warned the readers. But 1 day later somebody posted a reply from the
digest version (digest is that you receive all messages once a day) My virus
scanner also found that mail dangerous (it took me 1 hour to find out it was
that message)
What i mean to say is that virusses can also be in messages that are
archived. The only solution you have is to install a scanner and, most
important, regularly update it !! That is the only way you will be "save".
