Default Q: Outlook explorer - blocking incoming mail

Is it possible to block incoming mail on Outlook Explorer (6 - i think) and how.

For some reason and only just recently, i'm getting a daily intake of virus infected mail, fortunately Norton is picking it up all the time and getting rid of the attachments.

The mail i receive usually conatins a message 'here it is' or 'something for you' and is 9/10 under the subject 'stolen'

any ideas ?

Right click on a message, choose block sender.

You can also set up a message rule to take appropriate action based on message sender/subject etc.
