Well, all I can say is, my wife's machine is a default install of XP, has been for a few years, and we've never had a virus, worm, or otherwise. The only thing protecting the box is my firewall (BBIAgent) and AVG, a free anti-virus app. She uses IE, Outlook Express, and has no problems. -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 15:05:28 up 5 days, 14:47, 9 users, load average: 0.43, 0.54, 0.46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There are literally several levels of SCO being wrong. And even if we were to live in that alternate universe where SCO would be right, they'd still be wrong. -- Linus Torvalds
