Are you saying this patch will protect Outlook express users from the
BadTrans virus? (assuming they only preview the email & dont click on the
attachment).
As many have have found out recently..you dont have to open the
attachment on an infected (BadTrans) email...viewing only in the preview
pane is sufficent to become infected. (I got hit & I was running Updated
McAfferty's software)
If the patch will do that , then it is worth downloading imo.
