E-mail virus in Outlook Express 6

D

DaveM

My OE version is 6.

Lately I have been receiving an e-mail that has an
attachment which came with the virus. (My Norton deleted
them before reading the e-mail). What I noticed about the
sender's name/email. It was fake e-mail address.

My question how do I block the fake address and block any
e-mail that has attachement which has virus in it?

How do I trace it who did it? Is there a way I can do
that?

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000 & 2002 from the Office
family for Windows PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one
of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress

for the Macintosh version of OE

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
