The most dangerous and widespread computer viruses today are
the ones that travel through email (usually as email
attachments) or are activated by visiting a web page.
Internet Explorer (IE) 5.x and Outlook Express (OE) 5.x are
particularly vulnerable to email viruses and malicious web
scripts, and securing them from these security threats
requires downloading and installing several updates and
security patches.
A better solution is to
upgrade to version 6 of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express,
which fixes the security problems with the earlier versions
without changing how the software looks and feels to the user
(any of the instructions on our web pages regarding
IE and OE 5 should also work for IE and OE 6).
