Sounds like your e-mail program has a corrupt file.

You may have to un-install and then re-install.
The reason for the un-install is to wipe out all of the files,
if you re-install right over top, the corrupt file may remain on the computer.

When was the last time you ran the virus scan.
I also have been hearing lately about an e-mail hole,
I don't understand it fully, I just have not had the time to read the article.
