#1 rule if you dont know who sent it, the delete is your best friend. If you see a lot of messages from your "friends" with the same subject all of a sudden chances are it is a virus. Better safe than sorry

I'll add a rule #2....be strict in making friends and acquaintences to remove you from silly "joke of the day" type mailing lists.

Actually, if you're using "LookOut," RULE #1 should be to turn off the "Preview Pane." Many malicious code virus and worm infections can occur by simply opening the email, and if the preview pane is open, just clicking on the message will infect your computer before you can delete the message!

To turn off the preview Pane, go to View -> Layout, and then disable the preview pane (I don't have it on this computer, so I'm doing this from memory).
