I am running Outlook (Office XP Pro) on XP (home edition) using McAfee anti-virus and firewall. I have a e-mail that keeps trying to send it self out automaticly.

I have run a scan with McAfee and it's not finding anything but it does notify me that a potential worm is attempting to mail messages.

I have delete the original e-mails.

If I keep Outlook open it will keep tryimg to send these read recipets.

Oh, this email is one of those cool overseas deals explaining how rich I'll be after I let them use my checking account to run probate on some bazillionare who died with out a will deals.

So what do I do?

Just to ask the obvious here:

You have checked the McAfee web site and your virus definitations are up-2-date, correct ?
