I have had some strange things happening to my computer.
I went to my address book and all my entries were gone. I
know I didn't delete them? Where did they go and how can
I tell if I have a hacker or spies in my system? I ran
scans and found no problems. Thanks!
 
Not likely a hacker, but you should keep your system updated via Windows
Update, protect your computer with a firewall, use good antivirus software
(keep it updated regularly and run regular scans), and try www.lavasoft.de
for AdAware to get rid of spyware.

That said, sounds more like a problem with Outlook Express - you will
probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an Outlook
Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
