    That Web site is utterly disingenuous. Rather than giving low-value
    information, how about high-value information that actually protects people:

    1) Don't use Windows.
    2) Don't use Outlook.

    Our company uses neither Windows nor Outlook, and although we do have a
    firewall, we do not use anti-virus software.

    Of course, the sponsors of the site (Microsoft and a bunch of anti-virus
    vendors) can hardly see it as being in their interest to actually create
    a secure computing environment.

    Regards,

    David.
