Launching virus from preview pane

by mwleiter . Updated 24 years, 8 months ago

Is there any documented evidence of e-mail attachments containing viruses, being started even if the attachment is not opened? I have heard from some users that started the virus from their Outlook client, who swear they never opened the attachment. The only common thread is that they have their view set with a preview pane. Are there any settings in Outlook to configure or are there any security updates that I need to consider?
