Strange entries in address book Rusty 06-13-2005

Can anyone explain why my Outlook address book has about half a dozen
entries for people who I don't know and which I didn't put there. These are
normal god-fearing honest folk who are as surprised by this as myself and
are not spoof addresses from spam.

I have Norton antivirus and firewall, run MS antispyware and adaware
regularly and nothing wrong shows up.

Could the entries have been made if he clicked "Reply to All" and these
addresses were Cc or Bcc on the original with the "Add addresses..."
option selected in Outlook?

Look in "Tools / Options / Send "
have you ticked " Automaticly put people I reply to in my Address book" ?

Most common reason

How would the OP have replied to them if they didn't know them?
