Why not just stop using M$ Outbreak and Exchange? Outbreak is the only client that is propagating these virii ...
Point 1: Arjan isn't using Outlook, check the headers ;-) Point 2: Outlook isn't the only MUA that propagates these worms. Bagle (for example) uses its own smtp engine and relies on a (stupid) user opening an attachment. The only reliance is use of Windows and lack of virus awareness. Point 3: In the "real world" people have to battle an awful lot to dump Outlook and Exchange (think corporate investment), and until that's done they may still have to support these programs. On the other hand... Something is stripping the viral attachment from these messages, why can't it just dump the entire message? HTH, Tom.
