Microsoft has acknowledged that a bug in its Windows Live OneCare security suite has been causing users' email to vanish from Outlook and Outlook Express...The OneCare bug, first reported by users writing on a OneCare support message thread six weeks ago, seemed to be deleting Outlook and Outlook Express data - .pst and .dbx files, respectively - after a malware scan.
