I like to get my "ads" from Amazon. However, if they sent me an attachment, I would become quite wary. I would save it to my Desktop and run F-Secure, TDS-3, SpyBot and Trojan Remover over it, before opening it. And then I would expect F-Secure to catch any "archived" mal-code that did try to pop up when I opened it. But, my first line of defense is the Mail Dispatcher. I download no e-mail the address of which I don't recognize or which I am not expecting. I hope that I am not too naive and trusting. I don't know what further I can do to protect myself. I do not click on any attachment that my sister who uses Outlook Express-HTML sends me, unless she has sent a previous mail saying what it is. I read her mails in plain text, also. And I long ago stopped her from sending me those commercial greeting cards. I told her I was deleting them unopened. She hasn't cut me out of her will, yet, so I reckon I'm managing okay even though she uses a client I don't trust. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.0.2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
