"Outlook is the only program that can catch badtrans."

"The "badtrans worm" arrives under one of many aliases and it logs every
keystroke you make and sends them back to its master. The hacker can then
look at everything you've typed, including credit card numbers you've
shopped with.
"It also installs remote access software -- so if you were compromised by
it, if you don't have other defenses in the way, the adversary, whoever it
is, might be able to access your machine over the internet and control it,"
said Peyton Engel of Berbee, a computer company in Madison, Wis.

versions of Microsoft Outlook will just activate the file from that preview
pane that most of us leave open. "
