Subject: [Full-disclosure] User auto added to Outlook Express contacts


Does anyone have any idea how this works ?

I have all the latest critical updates and cannot find a setting in
Outlook
Express to prevent this so could this possibly used for an exploit ?



That is a normal and needed function of OE for most people. To turn it off,
you go to the Tools menu then Options then the Send tab and take the tick
out of "Automatically put people I reply to in my address book". Simple.
