"Trusted sender" is the key. So your computer is setup like having sex between a husband and wife and both abstain from orgies. Now if either one contracts an STD, I think it is time for some marriage counseling, perhaps divorce and litigation. Same goes for two computers connected together.

If one has Windows 2000 set up correctly, it is very secure. MSFT gets a bum wrap on security, because of its high exposure. Your system sounds like it is secure. Even if you receive a worm, you will not be infected. Do not open the file with a double click (this will try and execute the file). But rather right click on the file and select the open menu option. You will never get infected.

>> As for fining anyone opening a worm, that's like putting people in jail if they get a venereal disease

Prostitutes with AIDS are removed from the streets of Vancouver and Victoria with great dispatch. A friend of mine, a social worker, who is known by the girls as the "condom lady", has the job handing out free condoms and preaching the joys of safe sex to the street girls of Victoria ;-) Perhaps I should introduce you?
