Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / April 2005~.dat files appearing on the desktop after sending mail.
I am trying to help out a friend of mine who is having a problem with DAT files named ~.dat appearing on his desktop after he has used Outlook Express to send mail. (He lives 500 miles away from me, so I can't pop around to take a look at his PC!) These files seem to contain random entries from his address book. Sending is apparently unimpaired, so it is essentially an annoyance rather than a major problem. He is running OE6 under W98, and uses NAV2004. Does anyone have any suggestions as to cause, and possible cures, please? close but no seeeegar, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830921 for the resolution  SignatureAdaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Etrust/Vet/CA.online Antivirus scan http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools (1) http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Catalog of removal tools (2) http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/newsinfo/collateral.aspx?CID=40387 Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors and webmasters _ > I am trying to help out a friend of mine who is having a problem with DAT > files named ~.dat appearing on his desktop after he has used Outlook Express [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Does anyone have any suggestions as to cause, and possible cures, please?
