Good advise.  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.
