I -don't- click on any random attachements that come up in my email. And even if I did, I use Thunderbird. It won't execute attachments.
And I've never gotten infected with anything.

Bilge,
Sounds like you are one computer saavy pirate. However for the typical folk out there some sort of protection is probably best.
