Among other things I'm tech writer for the Washington Times. Question: If my mail software auto-deleted all executable attachments, if I surfed with an XP Pro user account not privileged to write to registry, and if I used Netscape 8.0 to allow active content only from trusted sites such as banking sites,how much danger of Trojans, viruses, etc would remain?

Thanks, Fred
