Anyone still downloading email blind is a fool.

If you used mozilla thunderbird (free) - you wouldn't have to rely on external programs to protect you from unpatched MS vulnerabilities.

Or just not aware of such things.

I really can't fault my grandmother for not knowing what to look for. She's just learning now.
I can teach her the majority of things to look out for, but she's gotta learn some things on her own from trial and error.

Not everyone in this world has been online for the past 10 years you know.

i prefer to look at what comes in while it's still on the server and make my own decisions as to what I accept and don't accept.
