Sounds like a REAL [deleted string of nasty words] virus and a total pain to get rid of it. Very good reason to NOT use outlook express. If the nasty bad boy that wrote that thing gets caught he can be looking at fines and federal time that start at 10k and/or 10 years and go up from there, that also includes loss of computer, everything attached to it and all the software he has, paid for or not.

Why shouldn't speech be free? Very little of it is worth anything.
