This is great. We covered Microsoft OneCare when it was first announced and again when Vista was nearing release. Now comes news from SecurityFocus that Microsoft OneCare deleted Outlook e-mails…

Recent reports suggest Microsoft’s OneCare anti-virus offering suffered a bug that could have caused it to delete or quarantine all e-mail in a user’s Outlook inbox, in certain cases when it finds a virus.

Well isn’t that nice. You have a spam/virus email in your PST, so to get rid of it, we’ll just delete the entire PST file. Yikes. Glad they didn’t include it in Vista as Anil had suggested.
