Windows update will not clean viruses. The recent update will protect
against someone trying to access your computer. It will not protect against
viruses included in your email.

The better approach to protect against email type viruses is :
1. Never open email or attachments from senders you do not know. Delete
them.
2. Have a virus checker that operates full time and includes a check of
email. Keep it up-to-date regularly.

Some virus checkers are Norton and Mcafee. They need to be purchased.
Grisoft has a free version available here

Go to Trend Micros website housecall and run a scan.
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
A good free antivirus is AVG which is free for personal use.

Make sure the e-mail scan portion of the program is turned on, by default it
is.
This scans incoming mail as it arrive then deletes or quarantines any virus.
Keep the virus definitions up to date, by default AVG auto updates
definitions every 14 days, however while web surfing if you run across any
site with news of a new virus on the web run AVG's manual update.
I'm guessing your using Outlook for mail and if so in the options set the
security to restricted zone.
Open IE's security settings tools/options/security tab and double click the
restricted zone choose custom and turn everything off so scripts etc. cannot
run in Outlook's preview pane.
Never open attachments. Right click and save them to disk then after
updating your virus definitions right click them again and run a virus scan
on it. My policy is unless someone I know has sent me an attachment I've
requested or they have told me in advance they are sending one and why it
gets deleted.
