"you do a file search for *.dbx ? (assumining yer using outlookexpress)"
This brings up a good point - ditch Outlook and use Thunderbird or almost any other mail client. Outlook is well known for its insecure nature, plus Thunderbird keeps all your mail in a text file, so it's very easy to deal with if something bad does happen (also easy to back up and access with a simple text editor).
Just thinking about Outlook gives me a case of the collywobbles.
Netscape (it was 4.something I was using until I switched to Thunderbird last evening) uses a simple text file that can be edited with WordPad. It's easy enough to remove offending stuff from Netscape's mail files.
I need something to undelete my old Netscape Inbox and save it to a cd without Norton getting a whiff of it. I can then do with it what I will on a pc with no anti-virus software.
What really fries my arse is that I never open attachments, yet the virus-loaded email got by my Norton.
