I believe it only infects through a security hole in MS Outlook and Outlook Express.

Re infection of W3.1 and Netscape 4.77. I doubt that you're vulnerable, at least not through automatic execution of the virus file. That seems to require Outlook or Interet Explorer 5.01 or 5.5. I'm not sure what happens if you get a mail with an attached executable, and then proceed to execute it to see what it does. Don't! I'm also assuming you are using Netscape as your mail program.
