In my 9 years of using pretty exclusively Outlook & Outlook Express I have
never suffered any bad effects from a virus. I have occassionally used
other software but I dont like them. I like and use both with no problems.

I have received dozens of viruses (virii) and never once been infected.

RULE #999 - be careful and sensible and think about what you do... use the
most current anti virus software you can get.
