I use the preview pane in my office and will continue to do so because I am protected as much as possible. Except in the 1% case of the virus showing up before the AV signature is updated I am safe. Andy spoke of this with firsthand experience and that can lead to the preview being disable by policy. Paranoia is often the result of first hand experience and I won't ridicule anyone that doesn't use it. It's a pain recovering from one of those getting into your network. I've had to fix other business's because of it. It's not only inconvenient, it's expensive!

This looks like a classic 'knee-jerk" Information Systems Group reaction, unencumbered by the thought process. For a virus script or executable package to run it has to be loaded, and any virus scanning software worthy of the name will catch the virus before the file is loaded (assuming you are up to date with your signature files). Mine won't even let me save an infected file to disk, let alone open the thing. Lambert > -----Original Message----- > From: John W.
