Pick one: (i) be reckless, continue to use Outlook Express and IE without paying for and running all the snake oil "protection" software, (ii) continue to use Outlook Express and IE, spend hundreds of dollars every year on snake oil "protection" software, and still doubt from time to time whether the computer has been 0wn3d, (iii) switch to Thunderbird and Firefox, and take due precaution when dealing with email attachments. May still need to spend some money on anti virus software, or (iv) switch to a Mac, in which case when someone complains about receiving virus email from you, just tell them that you have a Mac, and the Windows viruses they receive have nothing to do with you.
