I have not had a virus since I stopped accepting attachments. They are easy to take care of if you have Windows 98SE, I'm not sure about other operating systems though.

Yeh virus's suck. I've had my share of them and I have Windows 98SE. But I deal alot with files and stuff, but I was able to get rid of most of them pretty quickly. Like my virus scan usually picks up on them. I work for my goverment and some lady got a virus that send a email to check out this screen saver. Well it went to over 1000 people 6 times. But the firewall picks it up. There is so many new virus's out there, you really have to becareful. Just keep your virus scan updated and don't open and suspicious files and you will be fine.
And you can get a virus regardless your operating system.

I'd have to strongly disagree with MAC's not being able to get viruses. I've seen it first hand. Hehehe. Stupid MAC's. If something goes wrong, the only way to fix it is to delete and reinstall.

Unit, I'm not saying Mac viruses don't exist, but in 4 and a half years, I've never seen one. None of the viruses that made the news in the past several years could affect a Mac.
