trojan

The latest trick on the "lets mess up people's computers" front is also an exercise in extraordinarily bad taste. On Thursday, British security firm, Sophos labs picked on Trojan horse packed into an email posing as a suicide note for the pop singer.

Quesiton: I am using MS Windows Pro on a laptop with Intel 850Mhz and 256MB RAM connected to the Internet using cable. Using Norton Personal Internet Security. I was cleaning up some messages in my inbox (Outlook Express). I tried to delete a message from "MAILER-DAEMON@mail09b.bellsouth-hosting.net" the subject failure notice. Each time I clicked on it my computer froze and I got the message that the program was not responding and had the option to end now or cancel. Cancel never did anything but End Now would close Outlook Express. Then a little while after that I noticed on my Internet security several messages that said "rule default block backdoor/subseven trojan horse matched." Could this be connected? What should I do?
