That won't help much, many of the worms root through the inbox for
addresses to send themselves to.

If you have not already done so, I would strongly recommend setting your
MS Outlook to not automatically run attachments.
(Tools->Options->Security->Zone settings->Custom level and switch
everything to either 'disable' or 'prompt'... and don't trust the
"marked as safe" stuff) 

Better would be to not use Outlook at all if that is possible, as its
security is truly awful.  There are a number of free mail programs that
are superior to Outlook and lack its security holes.
