Re: When?

That is interesting. I use IE and oh now hold on to your britches here - outlook express ( gasp oh gasp ) and I can tell you with a 100% certainty. This machine isn't infected, exploited or in any other way compromised. Microsoft is far from perfect. But my feeling is there product gets a lot more crap than it deserves at times. It's funny how just using basic security principles can keep you safe. And can we please shut up about how this or that other OS can't be exploited. Crap a quick look around you'll find many virus, trojan and worm for Linux have be created and released. And daily you see your favorite flavor of Linux getting patched for this or that.

On another note.

Darn good thread in the security forum. And great to see this subject on the front page.

Re: When?

I use IE and OE at home as well. My machine isn't infected and I am 100% sure of it.
Just like Iggy stated, use basic security principles and your fine. I am behind a router, run firewall and up to date on my virus dat files. I know what is on my HD and if there is something that shouldn't be there, I take care of it.
