That's the whole point: people using Outlook or OE with all these M$ 
utilities for you, some of which you can not deactivate. If you use a 
Java based email client, like Mozilla or Opera, you don't have all 
this hassle; you can prevent most of the viruses getting on your 
system. It's these Visual Basic apps and VBScripts that cause all the 
damage. Oh well, use a firewall and some scanners to prevent it while 
you are using these M$ apps.
