Ah, the joys of not using Microsoft products. I'm sorry, but anyone 
using outlook deserves to catch the virus. This program has been 
singlehandedly been responsible for introducing email viruses to the 
internet. Considering its track record, its a wonder that no one has 
sued Microsoft for using it. 

 If you'd like to get rid of this problem once and for all, get rid of 
outlook. Replace it with a program like Pegasus and you'll never 
worry about an outlook based virus again.
