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.
