I really dislike Outlook because it is responsible for
spreading 80% of windows viruses, which slow our
internet servers and create an industry which should
not exist (commercial virus checkers and mail server
virus checkers).
How does it do that? I was under the impression that MS
had fixed OE.

<http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?c=12&vendor=Microsoft&version=%20&title=Outlook%202003>
list 2 vulnerabilities fro Outlook 2003 and if I read the
chart properly, the last one was reported in 2004.
You are mssing many. e.g.
http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA06-010A.html
http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA05-165A.html
http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA05-012B.html since the
start of 2005. I did not bother looking for more.
But Gerry, each of those has a fix available. Are you suggesting
that because these security holes keep being discovered, there
are bound to be more?
Please don't think I'm an apologist for MS, but scanning
<http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/> shows just one alert for
OutHouse and that was back in January.
I'm not advocating that anyone use OutHouse but I would like to
get to the truth about just how vulnerable it is.
