Yes Dan , a screen pops up telling of the virus , who sent it, and what type of virus it is, Than it gives you the option of repairing it, or quarantining it, and you can send it to them for analysis..The virus does not affect you or mess with your system,pretty cool , with all these kids out here today with nothing else too do.......

Dan, you asked >Is it better to not use the preview pane in Outlook Express? Would that help?<

Definitely! I eliminated preview several months ago after having it activated while receiving klez-infected e-mail. While my AV program detected and quarantined the virus, I think it's much better not to have that happen. Without preview I can look at sender and subject of each message and permanently delete strange e-mail [shift-del].

There MAY be a virus in e-mail from a friend who did not actually send it himself [his address was hijacked]. That's where the AV program comes in.
