Thanks so much for the response.
I downloaded the NK2Edit software, but when I tried to open outlook, it said no such file existed. Again, I am a very low functioning novice, I guess. I have an outlook.com email address that I access off of the MSN page that I use as a home page.
I do believe that I got the unwanted and so far undeletable email contacts through an invasion/infection in the recent past.
I did download and run the malwarebytes software you sent me on the link. Thanks so much for that. It showed 5 infections that weren't major.
I'm wondering if there is any way at all to get rid of those contacts. I'm hoping I don't have to change email addresses to do so.
Thanks so much for your help.
