OKay, here is my take.

Hardware firewalls are the best. They remove your computer from direct connection to the internet. That removed many of the possible security breaches that can happen.

Set your email to not accept attachments. Email attachments are the source of about 99.9999999% of all viruses. Eliminate that single deal, and you have eliminated most of your risk.

If someone needs to send you an attachment, they will let you know. Direct them to your hotmail account, where it can be checked before your download it. Nobody should be sending you an attachments without warning anyway. If they are doing it, most of the time it's a virus.

I can go on... but by taking a couple of simple steps, you can remove much of the software you have protecting your PC and you can live a happier life. Protect your self, don't rely on others to do the job.

what alex said and set your mail box not to show a the preview payne, also I had trouble with NAV 05 it wouldnt do the live updates right after 6 or 7 months had to redownload and reinstall it and that fixed it also norton has to much BS added with it like the recycle bin protector that by default backs up your deletes, I backed up a few DVDS 8 or 9 gig in size and after I was done I went to delete the rips and WTF I never gained my space back so here to find out it holds them for a week - fuck that.. I turned all that shit off and defraged and cleaned and everything is working great again - so I havent renewed NAV and will look into what was mentined here...
