Outlook Express Problem

[Gummo]

I sent my son an e-mail last night; he then reported to me that, not only
did he get the e-mail, he got my address book also!

Any ideas?

If you didn't attach the file yourself, most of the newer viruses/worms
attack or utilize the Outlook Express address book. If you have an
antivirus program (if you don't you should), update to the latest virus
definitions, then use the option that scans ALL FILES and scan your hard
drive.

Do a virus scan on your machine using a good AV program with the
latest virus definitions.

probably this is a virus/worm.
you should scan your hard drive with
a virusscan program (for e.: norton).
Don't forget to download the newest
virus-database!

Thanks for your replies.

I've scanned with the latest AVG, Norton and McAfee - no virus found.
