>Tom...as I said, this has NOTHING to do with viruses...this is a plain text list and viruses do NOT come thru here. It's your deleted items dbx file that is causing the problem. Take this question to a Windows group who can tell you how to deal with it. Geez...looks like you guys were having fun while I was away!<lol> All this guy had to do was delete his .dbx file, which was most likely corrupt and a new one would be created and life should again be wonderful!<eg> Dian D.

Since then, my C drive has been filled up and I am now having trouble getting room to download e-mail. After extensive troubleshooting, I have determined thart the problem is related to these two posts. If I delete some things and make room on the disk, and then try to either delete, read, or check the properties of either of these two posts, my C drive again instantly fills up and Outlook Express crashes. It seems that some kind of problem, possible a virus my anti-virus program does not recognize, has arrived with these posts. Does anyone have an idea as to what is going on? Are there others out there who, because of this, are having trouble sending or receiving e-mail?
