NRT-0077 Microsoft OneCare Zaps Outlook and Loutlook Express email files:

Microsoft has acknowledged that a bug in its Windows Live OneCare security suite has been causing users' email to vanish from Outlook and Outlook Express. A fix, the company said, is in the works and will be pushed to OneCare users next week. The OneCare bug, first reported by users writing on a OneCare support message thread SIX WEEKS AGO, seemed to be deleting Outlook and Outlook Express data files -- .pst and .dbx files, respectively -- after a malware scan. According to Microsoft, the bug affects Outlook 97 and Outlook 2000, as well as Outlook Express running on Windows XP.
