Please don't use MS Outlook Express and your worm worries are over. 

If you want to avoid worms, use *anything* but MS Outlook. 

Try Eudora 5.1...or any Linux-based mail program.

Without MS Outlook, you don't NEED anti-virus software.....as long as 
you don't voluntarily run attachments. 

My 13yo daughter uses Eudora and has not had a virus on her 
system*ever*. ...We have McAfeee on there - up to date - but I odn't 
know why I bother because she never, ever gets a virus. 

Oh she gets plenty in e-mail......but without MS Outlook, they have no 
effect whatever as long as she doens't run any attachments.
