21885 2001-10-18 20:28:00 I have been using StarOffice 5.2 for the past year for wordprocessing, email and spreadsheets. Part of my reasoning for using StarOffice was that I figured most viruses are designed to attack the Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Excel etc.) and that by using StarOffice I could avoid viruses without having to splash out on virus protection software. I haven't had any problems so far, but am I right in thinking using StarOffice will protect me from viruses? Guest (0)

Very quick and certain answer, NO
