| Its a family (of three) PC and no one claims knowledge of those
| addresses. I have removed the NKS file and we'll watch the list to
| see when unfamiliar addresses start showing up again. Thanks for your

|| They are normally saved from when you address an email manually, but
|| I am not sure if they are saved when forwarding to a DL or to the
|| previous recipients. If you have another person who also uses
|| Outlook on your machine, the addresses could have been added to the
|| auto-complete file by them. They could also be the result of
|| mis-typed addresses that you did not use or corrected before sending.

||| Can you tell me how did those addresses might have gotten there in

||| I forward or reply an email that was sent to others besides me?
||| Could they be coming over from IM?

|||| FEature - Outlook saves previously typed email addresses in a file
|||| for quick auto-complete. If you do not recognize the addresses,
|||| simply arrow down to them and press delete.

||||| I've got something really strange happening with my Outlook 2003
||||| SP1. When I create an email and enter a character I automatically
||||| get a drop-down list of potential recipients. The strange part is
||||| that there are LOTS of addresses in that list that do not appear
||||| in my contacts list, nor are they addresses that I recognize or
||||| have sent email to. Where do these come from and how do I clean
||||| it out?
|||||
||||| I have McAfee AV and it does not detect a virus on my system.
|||||
||||| TIA
