Can a Trojan Cause Outlook Express to Hang?

Quesiton: I am using MS Windows Pro on a laptop with Intel 850Mhz and 256MB RAM connected to the Internet using cable. Using Norton Personal Internet Security. I was cleaning up some messages in my inbox (Outlook Express). I tried to delete a message from "MAILER-DAEMON@mail09b.bellsouth-hosting.net" the subject failure notice. Each time I clicked on it my computer froze and I got the message that the program was not responding and had the option to end now or cancel. Cancel never did anything but End Now would close Outlook Express. Then a little while after that I noticed on my Internet security several messages that said "rule default block backdoor/subseven trojan horse matched." Could this be connected? What should I do?
