what I've seen, the patches let Outlook Express run at any security level
without further concern for these controls.
I think someone posted the following links here a few weeks ago (for which I
was most grateful). Microsoft has made it pretty easy to do the updates and
I'm hoping it has "inoculated" my Outlook Express. Here are the links...
the first describes the virus,
