Microsoft OneCare Again

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.
