Microsoft issues Outlook virus patch

Effectively kills mechanism that allowed Melissa, ILOVEYOU to spread quickly.....

Clic on the Start Button, clic on windows update (which launches ie which is bolted to 98), 98 will use IE to update your computer win Outlook, clic on restart. No charge.

I guess if you had a software company that sold this fix as a separate product, you could now file a class action law suit claiming MSFT was using its monopoly power to put you out of business. It will not be successful, like many of these types of suits which have been or will be filed.

Schmandel,
Your insults and name calling give all of the people trying to carry on legitimate debate against Microsoft a bad name. You're obviously bitter, probably frustrated by a lack of success, and in need of someone or something to blame. Maybe you should take a couple deep breaths and try to get your mind off of other peoples' colons.

Good luck,
Mike
