1st Ld-Writethru: Bug in Chinese anti-virus software zaps Outlook mail

NANJING, Nov 08, 2008 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
Chinese anti-virus software company
Ruixing on Saturday promised help for users to restore lost
e-mail, after a bug appeared on the company's anti-virus software
that supports Microsoft's Outlook Express mailboxes.
"Ruixing's engineers worked overnight to produce a
mail-restoring tool that users can download and restore the mail,"
said spokesman Ma Gang.
The Beijing-based firm issued a public apology on Friday,


admitting the bug in its software, Kaka, caused Outlook's
automatic elimination of users' mail lists and cookies.
Industry experts said the bug might have caused widespread mail
losses affecting millions of Outlook users, while the company
estimated that the actual number of computers affected was
probably in the thousands.
