Not to be argumentative.... but... I've been using Outlook Express on various Windows platforms (still use ME on one of my systems and think it's great!) since '98 and have never had a virus. Never used a Virus program like Norton or McAffe, until I had DSL, never had a firewall. I think it's all about being an educated user. Christian
