| 170734 | 2003-08-26 09:34:00 | When I do a send/receive on Outlook Express, I see something outgoing even when there is nothing in my outbox. I use Norton antivirus with the latest definitions, and Spybot (also the latest version), and neither can pick up any nasties. My other problem is that Outlook 2000 stopped working - it gets as far as the splash screen, then just hangs. Have tried a search on Microsoft knowledge base without success. Am I going to have to do a re-format, or does someone know some tricks? |

| 170735 | 2003-08-26 10:35:00 | Try an online scan.... This one (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) can help clear the nasties, if you have any! Lo. |

| 170736 | 2003-08-26 11:25:00 | Thanks Lohsing, tried the Trend program, but it didn't turn up anything either. Considering I have been running Win 98 for 3 years, probably time I blew it away and re-formatted. Good excuse to get a bigger hard drive at the same time. Just a little worried there is something out there that the anti-virus companies haven't caught up with yet. Might try the latest version of Ad-aware just to be sure. Thanks again |

| 170737 | 2003-08-26 23:06:00 | I am sure I saw another post with a problem like this (the outbox) not that long ago. I think it had something to do with Nortons but am not positive about that. Try a search on the forum and you might find it. | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
