I can't imagine a virus that would just randomly delete DL's. Most viruses
are trying to replicate DL's, not delete them. What information store, PST
or Exchange mailbox? How did you create the DL's and are they based on
Contacts in your Contacts Folder? Did you check your Deleted Items Folder?
Most of us use categories or separate Contact subfolders to group Contacts
more reliably.
