They make a good product, but just because they are the current market leader, makes them a big target.
The problem is not Microsoft, it is the loose nut behind the keyboard, in laymans terms, the user.
We have worked to train our users to be cautious of opening any e-mails, even from people they know. I have even done the impossible, trained my family. If we all work to training the users on how to pick out the trash or actually filter the mail, the problem will be fixed. If you have a good virus scanner such as Norton or Trend, it will help as well.
We are never going to stop these variants, so the best we can do is train our people and use every tool we have to prevent them from being able to get through 99.9% of the time. Anything that gets through should be caught by your virus scanner if you have it up to date and set on a high enough setting.
