   Easy Installations

   This is a real problem and even the Seven Simple Security Tips are unmanageable. Joe Average is not going to chase down or even be aware of Microsoft's security patch of the week.
   I do two things on my wife's Windows box that will stop +95% of all MS virus attacks:
   
   1) Uninstall Outlook and install a good third party email client, like Pegasus, in its place.
   2) Run any version of ZoneAlarm all the time.
   
   Some define insanity as doing the same thing over and over -- and expecting a different result.
   Endlessly patching and re-patching Windows to fix Outlook exploits is insane.
