1. Do not use Internet Explorer
2. Do not use Outlook
3. Do not open executable email attachments
4. Do not download and execute files unless you absolutely trust the source
Little to no risk left.
Ok, I forgot:
5. Do not use Win2k or WinXP unless you really, really know all the things that must be done to prevent them accessing the internet, and download and execute files without your knowledge.
Ya ya ya
Just use a firewall and get an antivirus subscription. Yhen use the security settings that are included with IE6 and Outlook. You'll be fine.
So, What anti-virus / firewall software does everyone use? I'm currently using Panda 7 w/ the built-in Sygate firewall.
