It is a common practice followed by users to have an anti virus program installed on their computer system in order to get an advance intimation of the viruses that are going to attack their system and ruin their files. But how many of you know that the anti virus program installed to protect your system may actually become a threat to your dbx and mbx files.
This may seem a very strange and ironical fact that most of the dbx and mbx file corruption occur not due to the virus but rather anti virus programs that are actually installed and made configured to make a scan of all incoming and outgoing e-mails. If you are thinking that you will not face this problem as your anti-virus program is a good one, then please correct it as this problem may happen to any of the program, even the best one is not untouched.
Outlook express is an e-mail/news client which is used by a range of users and they use them to store their important mails and contacts. So the corruption of any of these files may create a big problem to them as it may contain extremely important mails and contacts and in few of the cases repairing those mails may become an important issue.
So to prevent the email loss you should disable the email scanning module in your anti virus program. Actually there is a system scan which gets installed by default with each anti-virus program for Windows, which runs each time when Windows start in background. Now if any virus comes with e-mail attachment, it can’t do any thing until the attachment is opened and in the mean time Outlook Express extracts the attachment and saves it in Temporary Internet Files folder and tries to open it and if at that particular time, the background system scan detects the virus and deletes the affected file., then your system is safe otherwise other files may get corrupt. Scanning therefore adds nothing to your protection but in fact creates an illusion of it.
