I really don't get it, you missing critical updates or settings? Like I
said elsewhere, OE doens't autorun anything. I've clicked on hundreds of
viruses with no effect (I use preview pane because I'm lazy like that).

He likely had his security settings too low. Regarding OE, I've been using
it for almost five years now, and have *never* been infected through it. It
works just fine for my purposes, is safe and secure, and is easy to use..

I missed the start of this, but does it help knowing that any virus that
claims to be from a specific person, is nearly guaranteed to _not_ have
come from that person? All you know if it say sit's from Tim, is that
it's from someone with Tim in their address book.
