I have an oddity in Outlook I can't get rid of and need to as it is causing me a security problem.
If I receive 2 or more new messages in my Inbox and I read, then delete one, the next one automatically opens and is there on screen.
I think this may be how Netsky P infected my system (cleaned up now and all references placed by the virus about Britney Spears tits have gone-sad bastard that wrote it!) even though I have auto-update virus protection as I would never knowingly open any email I am suspicious of.
I have checked all the "options' but can't see anything to change to prevent this.
Any ideas?
Wendy

I dont know the answer to your question, Wendy.
But I get this every so often and I never signed up for this thing, can anyone tell me why this website is killing viruses before they reach my mail.....(Below)
This message has been processed by Brightmail(r) Anti-Virus using
Symantec's AntiVirus Technology.
application.zip was infected with the malicious virus W32.Netsky.P.dam and has been deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.

Jonny... that is most likely your ISP cleaning up after you. Gotta keep you email address off those free man-porn lists.

Wendy,
You mean open, as in you double clicked and it created a new window, or do you mean it is open in the preview screen in the bottom of your outlook window?

Oh... think I know what you are talking about.
You have a mail open. You click 'delete'. It brings the next one up in the same window.
If you happen to be on the last one, it brings up the previous one.
Nope. That is a 'feature'. No way to stop it.
By the way, for most of the viruses, you need to click on an actual attachment to get infected. That said, some of the little cockbites are getting pretty fucking creative. Every freaking senior citizen on my block is getting infected... 'Mr Lobstah... helppppp!'

Mr Lobster man
That's exactly what I mean!
I am now being told that virus writers are managing to put the virus in the email itself rather than just in the attachments. That's why I'm so bothered about this bloody stupid Outlook 'feature'.
Do newer editions of Outlook still have this do you know?
Wendy
P.S. Netsky P bypassed my auto-update Norton anti-virus somehow (NO idea how) and infected over 600 files and created loads of new ones with lovely titles like "Britney Spears cumshots".
I do surf the net, but Britney covered in spunk does nothing for me. How pathetic was the git that wrote that virus.

Wendy...
That nasty embedded scripting functionality has been around for years.
In Outlook go to Tools / Options / Security. Click on 'Restricted Site Zones'. Also click on the two check boxes underneath (assuming you have the same version as I).

You might want to take a look at this.

I use Outlook 2003 (in Office 2003) so I haven't been able to test it.
Give it a shot,
grant
EDITED: not sure which version of Outlook Express you have or which version the link refers to

Thanks
All the same stuff was there in Outlook 6 which is what I have.
Hopefully it is now solved thanks to all of you.
I wasn't being paranoid then?

This the thing were you hit delete and the no matter what you do another opens, and opens?.....It's new to me since I reconnected. Guy told me that it's not really opening the things. Sure looks like it though. He may be right, so far so good here.
Damn I wish these things would allow ME to make the mistakes. I need no help.
