Are you getting an error message? Is this Outlook or Outlook Express? Do you have a default browser set or did you just install another browser like Firefox or Opera?

I did install Firfox but has since been uninstalled Im running express 6 and Im not getting any error messages.

Sounds like when Firefox was uninstalled it didn't reset IE to your default browser. To change this you can go to Start > Set Program Access and Defaults or you in IE you can go to Tools > Internet Options > Programs and check the box at the bottom that says IE should check if it's the default browser.

Start >> Contro Panel >> Internet Options
(at the top TAB) Programs > (check all APPs you use for e-mail and other) from drop-down menus
@ the bottom>> 'IE should check for.... ' make sure it's CHECKed.. and next time say 'YES' to default browser for IE

let me ask you this?? you KNOW 99% of viruses r based on InternetExplorer and Outlook (E) code.. and target those who uses them..
did it EVER cross your mind to seek alternetives?? Netscape (is one, also has e-mail client), Opera (is other), FireFox (i know u didn't like) - but SAFE choise.. and OTHERS
