An update.
The one thing that helped me the most was never to allow the mail reader to
download the worm in the first place. This can be done in Outlook Express
by setting up the message rules as follows:
Click Tools, Message Rules, Mail.
Select New
1. Condition, Check box "Where to or CC line contains people"
2. Action, Check box "Stop processing more rules"
3. Description, Click on underlined "contains people" then type in your
email address, Then Add, and OK.
(Select new rule # 2)
Click New
1. Condition, Check box "For all messages"
2. Action, Check box "Delete from server"
Click ok, apply now, apply now, ok ,close, ok.
This will cause the mail reader only to accept mail addressed directly to
you and delete all others from the server.
The following info also came from Paul[MSFT]
Some people may want to occasionally review deleted messages to verify that
nothing legit is being filtered out. If this interests you, you could
modify the second step in Rule 2 to "Delete It" or "Move to Folder" rather
than deleting it from the server. Then you could occasionally scan the
messages in the deleted items folder or other folder for legit email.
