How safe is Microsoft Money?

regarding attacks that is?

[cyberfyber]

I've been using good 'ole MS Excel for awhile to manually keep track of my accounting for my mini Internet Business. But am now thinking that I might need something a slight bit more robust which won't cost me extra dollars.

Thus, I thought of Microsoft Money 2002 since I've already got it.

Is it safe? That is, considering all the worries about attacks and such?...and since I'd be connecting it to my bank account. (or would that last bit I mentioned be foolish?)

Any thoughts and other recommendations?

I wouldn't have any hesitation using it if I needed something like that even tho' M$ and their products are magnets for hackers. Just make sure that you have all the latest patches and upgrades and I don't think you'll have any issues.

Here's a couple of places to look if you haven't already seen them:

Good luck,
