I am getting sick and tired of people blasting 
Outlook for something
that they should take care of regardless of what 
their email client is.
 
I have a simple setup.
1.  I'm running XP and Microsoft's 
firewall.
2.  I'm running Norton Anti-Virus with an 
update subscription
3.  I don't open attachments that I have not 
requested someone
     to send to 
me.
 
I did check out one that was on the Omega list and 
sure enough
Norton/Symantec let me know it was 
infected.
 
Really simple, whatever email client you are using, 
a good firewall
(there is a great one free that I used before XP) 
and a good anti-
virus program running ALL THE TIME REGARDLESS OF 
HOW 
MUCH SYSTEM RESOURCES IT TAKES.

  Yeah if I didn't know better, I'd say Microsoft 
  deliberately designed Outlook to be susceptable to viruses.--
