=20 Hmm. Not sure about that Charles... * The router firewall won't stop virus/trojan/worm laden email. * Norton/AVG are only as good as their current definitions. * And what about the worm that doesn't need an attachment, but executes from a script in the html of the email? I too have a router/firewall, AV software, etc - but it's Outlook itself that stops 90% of bad stuff...

It might lok like it on the surface, but I'm confident with Outpost, Norton, AVG, the built in firewall in the router and a whole lot of common sense, (like not opening attachments from someone I don't know, staying away from lists that aren't plain text only (at least keep a VERY close eye on them) and so forth...) will keep most nasties away. If they do make it, they usually are caught before they can even think about doing their dirty deeds.
