I don't use Outlook Express, but I do use Outlook. Why? Because I can drag and drop any e-mail, task, appointment, or note into another folder and work with it there as it becomes that new item, or drag and drop between other MS applications and it all works smooth for me. I've never gotten a virus from any e-mail where I did not open the attachment, and the program also offers ways to disable the windows that offer the possibility of catching a virus. Furthermore, MS is aware of security leaks when they exist, and they are fast to respond with patches for them. Overall, I feel MS makes a good product, with decent cooperation between applications, and I think the biggest reason that these viruses are written for MS products in the first place, is because of their popularity. Who's going to write a virus for an e-mail product that few people even use?
