Is there a way to block a domain or address in outlook.
Now a days i am getting many emails with harmful
attachments which says updates from microsoft. I want to
block those domains.

You can add addresses to your junk senders list, however, with the current
state of viruses, that really won't help you very much. Even though the
emails you're getting seem to come from Microsoft, they really can come from
anyone (including friends of yours who might be infected).

Blocking addresses and domains is a very poor and often frustrating method
of protecting yourself from harmful or annoying email. A good AntiVirus
program and a good anti-spam program are the best tools.

For example, there are antispam tools and email content filters that will
block everything with an .exe attachment (which are 99% of the time
viruses).
