There are a few common viruses out there that disables Outlook Express, but if you get it updated ti the latest version and security patches, and install a decent AV software, it shouldn't matter.

It is always worth worrying about it.....

Outlook is the most common POP email program, so it's the one that always gets targeted.

Why not ditch the whole Explorer/Outlook combo, and get Mozilla/Mozilla mail? I switched, and haven't looked back!
