I strongly suggest that you do NOT delete Outlook Express without another email processing program installed. Otherwise you will NOT be able to process ANY email. I know I have seen some on this list advise that it be deleted, but I have used it exclusively for email and have NEVER had any virus problem that I could not handle with an installed and updated anti-virus program. I have never contracted a virus although I have had some sent and received. Also Microsoft has just issued a security update that may address some of the issues discussed here.
What you must consider is that Outlook Express works seamlessly with Internet Explorer and Windows. Updates for it, security and otherwise, are offered free of charge from Microsoft as they are produced. The reason that so many viruses are directed to it is its popularity which is a two edged sword. Disabling the Windows Scripting Host will take care of most vbs based virus problems. That, along with your Norton AntiVirus software, provided that you keep it up to date, should solve most of your potential problems.
