You already have step-by-step instructions for setting up Rules in
"help" for Outlook Express. Read them.

The rules are really better suited to stopping spam than viruses, although
in the case of swen you have both going on. What I have done that works
quite well is create a rule that says if the message body contains the word
"Worm.Automat.AHB" then delete, or if the "from" line contains Microsoft
also delete.

Incidentally, gang, sorry about the empty reply. Hit the double-click on
"reply" by mistake.

Try out mailwasher its a lot easier than setting up rules in outlook
 
I won't address the rule question since others are addressing that issue;
however, the first thing to do in Outlook Express is: Tools/Options/Security
tab, checkmark "Do not allow attachments to be etc, etc". This will remove
the danger from many of these. I am getting so many that I would eventually
make a mistake if I tried to cope with them individually. That is probably
why the mass mailing.
Hang on,
