Get to McAfee.com/Norton.com/TrendMicro.com and get some anti-virus software!!
Three other things: Check your startup folder and remove any strange programs.
Use RegEdit and remove any strange programs from the following RegKeys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Micorsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micorsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micorsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_USERS\<blah blah blah>\SOFTWARE\Micorsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Search your hard drive for *.vbs files and delete them.
Oh - and remove Outlook from your machine. Use Netscape or Eudora or anthing else.
