I also am immune despite using Outlook Express.None of those viruses infected my machine.
If you think not running Windows is immunity you are fooling yourself, the number of viruses being written is rapidly turning to Linux/unix/mac (most seriously the Apache server Virus, do you have an active Apache server in your Linux system?Do you know?)as reported recently on www.theregister.co.uk. and www.slashdot.org . I did not need AV software to stop it just a brain! If you open an attachment with 2 extension ie w32bugbear*.jpg.pif you get what you deserve. Never open attacments with the extension .scr these are scripts and almost certainly viri. I recieved the latest virus from Gary Brasher, if you are out there Gary you have it! There is no such thing as an immune operating system(With the exception of O/S 2 so old and primitive virus writers cant be bothered)Wake up guys! As a boss of mine once put it you can make a system foolproof but not idiot proof!
