What header on where forever? If you'd like us to help you'll really have
to give us a lot mor information. For starters:
1. What version of Outlook are you using?
2. What kind of mail server are you connecting to? POP/SMTP I assume?
3. What makes you think this header is a virus?
4. Why can't you just delete the header if it's a virus?

No, as long as you don't open any attachments the message contains.

My own personal Rule #1 of all time.... SHUT OFF THE PREVIEW PANE IN YOUR
INBOX.
Many people leave the preview pane (aka Reading Pane) open all the time,
which by default usually displays the latest message received automatically.
For many viruses which are part of attachments this won't be an issue as long
as you don't open the attachement. However, for some viruses, all that has
to happen is for the e-mail to be opened - which the preview pane will do on
it's own. You can delete any unopened email with a simple right click and
"delete" with no worry of activating anything.

The Outlook preview/reading pane has been safe for years. See http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2004/up040204.htm
