Outlook rule won't delete

I receive frequent emails from "Microsoft" to "Use this patch immediately!". Obviously spam, and maybe worse, so I tried to set up an Outlook rule to get rid of them. I use Outlook rules here at home quite a bit to shift messages into the right folders upon arrival, and I use them at work to delete certain types of email. But for some reason, when I try to "delete" or "permanently delete" a message with the subject above using a rule, when the email actually arrives I get a popup from Outlook saying I can't delete the email - "you don't have appropriate permission to delete this email". The PC has just one user account, with Administrator privileges. How do I get around this?
