Outlook Express gives virus spredders all sorts of access to your computer with their scripts. I use Netscape myself, and there seem to be several people intent on getting me to switch to MS's IE, even people more paranoid about viruses than I am, but I just don't have time to learn the thing. I don't delete it because sometimes IE is the only thing that works with some sites, but other than that the thing has VERY little value. Pete
