So Outlook sucks...

Anyone seen this?

Don't lecture me about Outlook vulnerabilites, please...

Just got an email that tried to open a dialer. Never seen this before. Anyone got an idea what it is/was. A quick browse through Symantec didn't turn anything like this up.

Any ideas?

There are many dialers - I see IBS pretty often:

You need to provide details from the executable file.

Yeah, I'm aware of dialers. Just never had one try to get in via Outlook before.

I had trouble with dialers in Outlook Express, so I stopped using it and switched to normal Outlook (with a firewall & antivirus scanners) and I haven't had any more trouble with them.

I delete 99% of all mail I get from people I don't know already anyway.

Thanks.

Yes, I am using Outlook (not OE) and I have both hardware and software firewalls. That is why this one surprised me.

Oh well, the machine appears to be clean after a spyware/antivirus scan.
