also, stupid OE likes to autoload trojans when you use the preview pane.

So turn it off!!!!!!!

That way you can see is a email has a attachment (paperclip) and not open it unless you know the sender.

Another tip........ http://housecall.trendmicro.com ........ PCcillan online version to scan your PC. PCcillan is the only AV software that I know of that can be "hot loaded" onto an infected PC.
