[Outlook] 2000: How to Improve Security

Hello

I'm running Outlook 2000 as my main e-mail client. Recently, I've been getting a few e-mails with viruses (Netsky) on them. My Norton stopped it but I was wondering if their is an option to stop all incoming attachments?

Also, what are some general security tips you can lend?

Thank You

 "Also, what are some general security tips you can lend?"

1) Upgrade your Office 2000 to SP3

2) In Outlook, turn off the preview option

3) Turn off HTML formatted emails, if not, make sure that your default Internet Zone is Restricted Zone for viewing HTML emails

4) Create Rules to automatically delete emails that you don't want

Other than that, let NAV do it's job.
