>>You would think that after 3, 4, 5, 20 virii make their way to your Outlook inbox and infect your machine that you would take the time necessary to learn how to protect yourself, First I don't use Outlook, second, I didn.t get infected.
Again my problem is the volume of garbage I receive from others. It fills up my mail box. 18.5 meg just in 10 hours! >>It's somewhat unfair to blame Microsoft for the virii being passed around, although it's typical of society. The point is that the soft was delivered (I know it is not so now) with far too dangerous features all activated BY DEFAULT. 1. the ability to execute scripts form mail. Who needs that? 2. the ability to do almost everything from a script. MS definitely forgot about elementary Intenet security rules. 3. the ability to use functionalities like the SMTP functions or get the mail ad dreses list in Outlook from any external program or script. THIS is the main reason why so many viruses are spread and the fact that they ha ve corrected the situation does not eliminate their responsability for the effects that are still going on.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
