I did it on purpose. That way, many people will see this before asking.
Hopefully, it will stop people from asking *hundreds* of times. If you
prefer to find posts between the hundreds of these, be my guest.

If you use Outlook for reading news you must be the first one doing so
) News is read by OE, O opens OE (msimn.exe /outnews) if you hit a
news link, no support for news in O so far. grin

Funny, run out of ways to counter my argument and the only thing you can do
resort to name calling. Find something better to do with your life.

First, someone could easily do that manually, without any programs.
Second, that only covers the real problems of open ports, which could be
hacked into.

Sorry, but, I don't argue with children, dumb people or dumb children.

Excuse me, I don't argue with age challenged or IQ challenged people.

IQ challenged? Yet I'm taking International Baccalaureate (run a google
search on it) program, and courses ahead of my grade, with honours.
Now, would you like to present an argument with facts?

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.
