Yes agreed.  But if you really don't want to get rid of 
Outlook or Outlook Express just turn off VBS scripting in 
Windows 95/98.  

Go to Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, Windows Setup, 
Double Click on Accessories, scroll down to Windows Scripting 
Host and take off the check mark.  This will stop ILOVEYOU, 
Melissa and related viruses from attacking you.
