I rather doubt if OE preview would be the source of the infection if

files are stored in: tools-options-store folder.

Earlier versions of MS Outlook Express were susceptible to viral
infection if email was viewed in the preview pane. I don't know about
the latest version; I turned off the preview pane a long time ago, and
don't miss it.

They fixed that susceptibility to viruses when viewing messages in the
Preview pane a long time ago, before OE6.
