Turn off Javascript, switch off pop-up windows, reconfigure Outlook to show plain text email...

"CERT recommends that Explorer users consider other browsers that are not affected by the attack, such as Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Opera. Mac, Linux and other non-Windows operating systems are immune from this attack. "

For about 5 minutes.
It's so buggy it's not funny, and so clunky if you're running lots of stuff (and I'm at 2.4GHz/1G so not exactly resource short).
