Micro$oft has been trying really hard to make Outlook more secure. I honestly think that they're making a lot of progress. (they ought to... it's not like they haven't got the resources)
go to: http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates and install ALL of the recommended updates for Outlook. It's a painless and semi-automatic process to download and install the updates. The latest Outlook security patches make it practically impossible for a "e-mail worm virus" to invade your system. It blocks all the known types of "unsafe" attachment files. If someone e-mailed you a script, you certainly wouldn't want to open it! But if you accidentally clicked on it by mistake, you would at least hope that Outlook should refuse to open it, right? That's what the latest updates @ http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates will accomplish. I'm not saying the product is perfect... but it's improving. At least the *updates* are free :) > i have outlook, but i have heard that it has major security > issues. is > there some better email program out there? preferrably one > that is free? > also, if i were to use outlook, i also have avg anti-virus, which is > supposed to make outlook more secure. how well does this work? _______________________________________________ etree mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etree
