The explosive growth of corporate email systems in the past three years has made email one of the primary transmission means for computer viruses. The annual Computer Virus Prevalence Survey, published by the International Computer Security Association (ICSA) found that the number of computer virus victims who reported becoming infected via email is growing rapidly, increasing from 9% in 1996 to 32.3% in 1998. More recently, the quick-spreading W97M_MELISSA virus that used macro code inside a Word file to automate Outlook and send email messages from the unwitting recipientÆs computer made headlines around the world and affected hundreds of large corporate sites.

Users of Microsoft Outlook 97 and 98 can now download Trend MicroÆs free ScanMail for Outlook virus scanning program. This program scans Outlook folders for malicious code and attachments. If the program finds any virus-infected email messages, you can configure the program to either clean, delete or ignore the message.
