Antivirus software needs time to react and update, so there is a timespan when you are vulnerable.
And you really believe that IE and Outlook do NOT have any security loopholes at the moment? Would be the first time in history. Next virus exploit followed by next patch followed by next virus exploit followed by next patch andandand will follow for sure. And you really believe that the security settings are there to help you and not just eye candy while the program continues to support spyware? BHO, anyone?
I have ceased to help people with comp probs who continue to use IE/Outlook against my advice. I just don't have that much time at hands. It's a neverending battle that can't be won.
