Dear Ian, Here's a cheap solution to make it much more difficult for worms to enter your computer: ¬Get a mail client that does not run script automatically. Mozilla E-mail is a good example and it's free. Outlook Express and Outlook run all scripts automatically. There may be patches for them, but I don't know how secure they are. Remember that a preview of a document might run the scripts inside. Norton Antivirus 2003/4 provides email scanning regardless of the Mail Client you are using and can therefore be recommended. Regards, Xyloc
