Unlikely. Most viruses/worms/trojans are not program-specific. It's only the cr*p from the script kiddies that usually is, and that's just because they're using virus engineering software they've downloaded off a site and don't know any better.

Yeah, Sophos is generally good, particularly in it's corporate form, as I said. Which viruses/worms/trojans? Any that are targeted at mail generically as opposed to OL/OE specific. TB is still software like any other and anything that would target the underlying mail engine i.e. that targets pop3, smtp etc will have an effect on TB. So, a generic which distributed itself by attaching to any sent message would affect TB as much as any other mail program. At least TB has it's own address book which solves one of the current problems :) >> Good.
