RockLobsta,
I would agree with what you said about updating defs when you ask "Have you updated your def's" and you know they haven't. I don't think people realize that means within the last 12-24 hours as a new virus was just created. Many users with dialup internet connections tend not to do it as often as necessary.
Yes, you are right, we do have alot of bad experience with this combination (Outlokk/Norton) in the corporate world where users may not be as diligent as they should be.
My only point was that a "virus writer" is going to target the biggest audience they can. The biggest audience is the combination of Outlook (because it's "free") and Norton or McAfee Antivirus.
This makes them the number one target.
No one ever wrote a virus to attack many of the other lesser known antivirus/email programs. There's is no fame in that. By moving out of the center of the bullseye you can lessen your chances of being "inflicted".
Talk about rambling, I guess I win. sorry
"What man does, man can un-does"
