Best practice is to either:
1. connect and upgrade the anti virus before touching email
2. harden the email client so you have to run an attachment to get infected.
You might want to run a scan from sindowsupdate.microsoft.com as well unless
your system auto downloads patches in thebackground and applies them.

i know it sounds obvious - but the easiest way to clean a machine is not to
get infected in the 1st place.
if its too late for that - follow the advice from your anti virus package.
A backup of anything you cant afford to loose periodically to an offline
store such as CD or tape is good practice as well.
