Hi, does anyone know how to rid my File outlook.pst in
| C:/Documents and Settings/ /Local settings/ App
| Data/Microsoft\Outlook Of the virus
| Exploit.IFrameDownload. I have tried everything. When I
| delete I have to recreate this folder but the virus
| returns to it. I have stupid messages (about 10 a day
| with attachments my antivirus states virus etc)Is this
an
| outlook problem because I get these messages directly
| through my ISP (tiscali) also when Im on the net at
| somebody elses house. AT THE MOMENT iT CURRENTLY SAYS
| CANNOT START microsoft outlook as file acces is denied I
| dont have permission to access Outlook.pst. This has
been
| going on for 3 month and I have internet explorer 6
| installed and all current updates for every program I
| use. Now and then in my Temp Internet files i sometimes
| get the Netsky virus. Are the two linked. Does anyone
| know how to solve this problem or tell me why I get
silly
| messages from people I dont know
| .

Exclude the *.PST file from being scanned by your antivirus. This should
give you time to start Outlook in safe mode (use command line switch /safe)
and delete the pesky messages that are causing you grief. (Don't open them,
just identify by looking at sender/subject and delete.)

ps - yes, most e-mail worms/viruses try to use exploits to get the virus to
launch just by the end user looking that the message.
