Default Outlook

Here is my question right: 99.9% if not 100% of all e-mail viruses/worms are written for outlook and even more so outlook express. This is basically general knowledge, but people still insist on using it.... WHY...?

When I arrived at the organisation I am at now everybody was using outlook express and the viruses just did not stop coming. Week after week after week. I took out the M$ Server, put in a Linux Server and made everyone check their mail via the web-based e-mail "progy"... Now the only thing I have to worry about is a workstation going doing. And since outlook is out of the equation, that does not happen very often.

Granted you scan the mail for viruses but inevitably they still get through and because you are using outlook, you get wacked...

USE DIFFERENT MAIL CLIENTS DAMMIT PEOPLE !!

pisses me off !
