GMan,
I'm getting a little confused with this but that does not matter because I
love to solve mystery's. When I go into Outlook Express and to her file, I
don't know how to open that. It says "open with" and I'm not so well-known
with what to do next. On the other hand her file is not really that big with
only email and just one with an attachment in it. I put the one with the
attachment in the "My Documents" folder and did another search in the
"Containing Text Files". That did not bring the search to "My Documents".
What happened now was that instead of 3 files, which I mentioned before, I
now have 5 files that came up when I typed in "MadOnion".
The two new files are: 4) mailbox IN.DBX C:/Windows\Application 137kB
DBX-file.
                                 5) Concepts.dbx C:/Windows\Application
3.669kB DBX-file.
That is very weird, I sure hope it is not a virus.
