a write-around for this particular method.

Anti-virus software only works to protect your
computer if it is updated constantly, and paid
service extensions are purchased annually.

An easier way to defeat MS Outlook targeted
e-mails is to use a different e-mail program.

An excellent, FREE program which qualifies for
Windows users is PegasusMail. Download it from:
