you need to find a different email program. MS Outlook is porous to virus writers without a server in front of it that is filtering them for you. MS updates Outlook far less often than Outlook Express and it remains vulnerable for much longer, even with addon antivirus programs. MS relies on Exchange server to do all of the heavy work and that is where they put their security fixes. you're running a much larger risk of a virus sneaking through and damaging things than users of Outlook Express, and they already are considered porous. there are many email clients that can keep track of your incoming and outgoing emails at least as well if not a lot better, although none of the lightweight ones come with calendaring. virtually all of them are more secure against virus attacks than any of the MS products.
