A couple of additions to Mike Dimmick’s letter to Microsoft on anti-virus software and how not everyone needs it.
- Don’t use Internet Explorer
- Don’t use Outlook Express
This seems to connect well with his other points. OE happily lets you run executable attachments, or runs them for you, and many (most) security patches I see are related to Internet Explorer.
BTW, hi Mike, you’re now in my aggregator 🙂
