Anyone complaining about virii that uses Outlook/outlookexpress is just silly. (No offence meant to anyone) THere are free alternatives, and what i use in windows "The Bat!" Outlook and OE are like a warm moist hole where virii thrive and grow. Seriously, i would say 9 out of 10 virii problems would simply go away if everyone stopped using those 2 clients. (untill the virus writers fond a new client to pick on) Try the bat they have a 30 day free trial, and i almost guarntee you'll love it.
