I' not sure what you are talking about here. All I was saying is perhaps 
if he were using different software than Outlook and Outlook Express, 
which are known to help in the proliferation of viruses, then maybe he 
wouldn't be bothered/affected by such things. I don't use either and I'm 
not bothered by such virii at all! YMMV.
