Of course just not using Outlook takes care of all the email
born viruses.  No other app, that I know of, will seek out and
execute viruses as enthusiastically as Outbreak^WOutlook.

Properly, virus checking is done by the OS.  That way, bad CD's,
web content, mail, etc will be checked during loading.

Me?  I get several hundred viruses sent per month to me.  mutt
and MacOS 10's Mail.app just won't run them.  I don't care.  It's
like worrying about catching dutch elm disease.
