    as long as you've applied the latest Office 2000 Service Pack (SP2
    http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/SP2upd.aspx) you will be in
    decent shape. Office 2000 SP2 includes the Outlook Email Security
    Update
    (OESU)

    If you don't have Office 2000 SP2, but you do have Office SR-1a, you can

    download the Outlook email security update separately. More info on
    Security and Outlook and the OESU here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/office/outlook/evaluation/security.asp

    FAQ is here:
    http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000/Out2ksecFAQ.aspx

    the actual OESU is here:
    http://office.microsoft.com/Downloads/2000/Out2ksec.aspx

    the KB article about the update is here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q235309&id=KB;EN
    -US;Q235309

    the OESU is also included in Office 2002.

    Outlook Express is an entirely different product, built by a different
    team
    (nuff said). You should use Outlook, and not OE, if possible.
