Is Outlook Express being phased out ? I notice that when I go on the B.T.Yahoo pay as you go,and outlook Express comes up it is superimposed with B>T>Yahoo Internet Mail. I click the x on the top to remove this and carry on with Outlook Express,but what is happenning ?

Meh, as long as you've got a decent anti-spyware app on your PC it shouldn't cause too much hassle :rolleyes:

Microsoft anti-spyware > all :D

Incredimail is known to be ridden with Ad-ware - time to dust off Ad-ware v 6.0...

I only ever used O/E when we had alex@freeserve many moons back, and when we switched to Plusnet's ADSL, I went to Yahoo!, and then to G-Mail.

I've never had to endure the over-bloated Outook...

I cannot stand Outlook, I use Thunderbird instead.

MS anti-spyware gets rid of Ad-Ware as well :D

Unless you've bought incredimail, you will have adware on your system;).
