I never open mail from people I don't know.

It doesn't matter if you know them. Nice people get viruses and send them too. If ANYONE sends you email with an attachment you need to be careful. You may take the addtional precaution of setting outlook express to not allow any attachments. If you do open an email that had an attachment, or felt compelled to open an attachement because it was entitled, "Cute Kitty", then simply scan using Trendmicro right after just to be sure you are still virus free. As for your adventures in browsing, other keywords to avoid are, "whips", "chains", "leather", and "cute kitty". Happy computing!

I've never scanned e-mail from people I know before opening it. That's a habit I'll get into now.

Thanks. I'll avoid those words like the plague.
