According to your "data", because I don't use Norton and use IE and OE I
should be flooded with worms and virii, but as is the case, I am not, nor
have I *ever* had a virus or worm infect any of my various boxes over the
last five years with IE and OE. How do you explain that, Richard?

Hasn't AVG been catching all of them for you?

Nope, I don't leave AVG running in the background. The only time I use
antiviral software is to check a specific file that I have downloaded from
the net, and then I shut it off.

I do leave a firewall (ZA) running, though.

That helps a bit, but what about downloads embedded in News posts?
