Good advice - thanks very much :-)
 
These self opening viruses 
(people have kindly sent me several 
- inadvertently) 
mostly attack the most common 
software used in business - Windows Outlook and 
Outlook express
 
By changing to a more secure freeware email program 
such as PEGASUS MAIL (probably the most secure 
of the freebies) 
http://www.pmail.com/
 
or Eudora Mail 
http://www.qualcomm.com/eudora
 
you can stop the self opening 
BUT should still obtain virus software such as 
this FREE (and very good) 
email virus catcher AVG 
http://www.grisoft.com 
This program has an auto-update facility 
(which is on by default) 
An out of date virus catcher 
lulls you into a false sense of security 
  . . . so update and do a check :-)
 
you might like to educate yourself about virus 
scams (a virus ate my hard disk type stories)

another good free virus catcher is F-Prot 
If you want to pay money (strange but true . . .) 
people use Norton to good effect
