That's strange. I use Pegasus. I also have Outlook, O. Express which are
back-up when Pegasus goes down and Netscape 4.7 has its own mailer
which I've never used, but could.
I also have masses of virus protection with an automatic update scheduled,
and you can set it to cover your mailers. I have, all of them. I wouldn't worry
about the mailers; I do worry about having virus protection up-to-the-minute.
Not using Outlook will only prevent your machine from sending
viruses............you'll still be getting them unless you're covered, whatever
your mailer.
Viruses are a fact of life, and the best protection is Norton Anti-Virus (my
choice) and not opening any attachments you don't know are coming. So far
so good. I do get sent viruses, 3 last month, but they were detected for me.
