According to a good number of recent posts, people are starting to get really mad because all of their email is being deleted by the OneCare product! According to reports, if OneCare detects an email with malware in the attachment, it quarantines the entire Outlook PST file! And on top of that, for a lot of people it has deleted their the file from quarantine also! So if you’re using Windows Live OneCare and this has not happened to you yet, TURN IT OFF and wait for the patch!!

If you’re one of the lucky ones or even if you don’t have OneCare, you should still backup your Outlook email because you never know when it can get corrupted or deleted and you might lose years worth of emails!! Here’s a link to the Microsoft Outlook Backup Utility which will help make sure the file is safely backed up!
