Questions:
Q. A file called ~ keeps appearing on my desktop or in
other places on my computer. It appears to contain
my address book. Do I have a virus?
A. No. This file is produced as the result of a bug in
the current version of Outlook Express. Microsoft
are apparantly aware of the issue and will release
a patch sometime in the future.
