No offense, but apparently you didn't look at her headers:
         X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0)
         X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700

I recommend ZoneAlarm, available from ZoneLabs.com. Works fine as long as 
you don't use Napster.

>decent virus software (norton scans all my incoming mail),

I'd second that. Norton caught multiple copies of the thing, mostly from 
people I don't know.

I just love the warnings that go like this (bonding mine):

I guess that's in case you are too ignorant to look at the caption of your 
window or icons in order to determine what software you're running.
