This is outdated info. 95% of anti virus now protect against this. The only time your seriously at risk for getting a virus is when A. the virus is fresh from the fryer, or B. You don't have updated (and proper) anti virus & firewall. Also C. If the virus is not 'known'

and 5% of your reply is informative.
