Subject: Re: [RT] Outlook settings to
help prevent virus from loading
Are you saying this patch will protect Outlook express users from
theBadTrans virus? (assuming they only preview the email & dont click
on theattachment). As many have have found out
recently..you dont have to open theattachment on an infected (BadTrans)
email...viewing only in the previewpane is sufficent to become infected.
(I got hit & I was running UpdatedMcAfferty's
software)
