I'm trying to switch over to Outlook Express, based on the advice I received here. After I blocked Incredimail from the ISP server and had switched to OE, a couple of attachments came in an email from my brother who uses Outlook and when I opened up the attachments, they were opened by Incredimail. So, I understand when you tell me there's a trojan in the computer. How do I go about getting them out? What should I look for?
