This is in no way a "Defence of Microsoft", but, any halfway decent AV
program coupled with Outlook/Express will protect against virii/worms. I
use Outlook with a business Exchange server and a copy of Panda Platinum,
and I've never had a virii, even after a client was hit with LoveBug a
while ago and I was getting 100 infected emails an hour. I also prefer
Eudora and use it with EZ-Trust ezAV on my home W2K box. Again, I've
received numerous SoBig virus/worm email (all spam mail BTW), but between
my POPFile filtering and my AV, all I do is dump the trash to remove the
emails and payloads.
The biggest problem is education and proper instillation of protection.
That is all...
