Hi Cristy,
If you keep up with the MS critical updates and practice
safe email procedures it can be be as effective as many
other programs.
I take it to extremes.
I use Plain Text only.
I do not click on unknown links
I do not open attachments unless I'm alerted ahead of time
to expect them and what name and file size and extension.
I scan them with a recently updated AV program.
My browser, IE6 is set to disable Java, and Active X.
No Flash, no Video, no sound and Zone Alarm set to block
everything and prompt me.
I can enable the effects manually if I need them.

Hi Cristy,
many of us use alternate email programs as the hackers seem to
like hacking into/ writing virus for, Microsoft programs to take
advantage of the much published holes in MS security.

Troth,
What does an email program like Thunderbird do that outlook express doesnt
and why would you prefer it? Just curious, do not know much about the
different email programs.
thanks,
