Agreed, but that doesn't make Outlook any less a security hazard, or void the recommendation that it be avoided if at all possible. Several computer publications recommend that people avoid Outlook. In fact, there's an entire article in the November issue of PC World magazine devoted to software security bugs (predominantly Microsoft products). Also, BugTraq, whose business it is to uncover and track software that pose a security threat, listed 15 programs along with the number of known security holes for each. Outlook ranked 4th with 28 known security holes. On the subject of antiv*rus software, someone here recently asked about AV programs for Windows XP. To the best of my knowledge, there are three AV programs currently available: - AVG 6.0 - AntiVir - Norton Antiv*rus 2002 AVG (www.grisoft.com) and AntiVir (www.free-av.com) are both free for personal use.
