If you must open attachments from MS Outlook, then save the 8 lines at the end of this message to a file with a .REG extension, then double click on the file you just created from My Computer/Windows Explorer. This modifies your registry so that you no longer execute VB script attachments, just view them harmlessly in a text editor. Voila, no more email script viruses.
