Sent messages keep disapear after three or four days for n..

AutoArchive is the only option in Outlook that can physically remove items
after a few days. If AutoArchive is not enabled, and there is no corruption
in your pst-file, you must have something else installed which removes the
items for you. Therefore again, which addins do you have installed?

The following add-ins are installed:
iTunes Outlook Addin
McAfee Outlook Add-in
Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Colleague Import Add-in
Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service
Microsoft VBA for Outlook Addin
Windows Search Email Indexer
WinZip E-mail Companion

Do you think one of these may be causing the problem?

I ran a complete McAfee scan and it found/removed 1 suspicious program

Do you happen to sync Outlook with a mobile device? An iPhone for example?
(considering you have the iTunes addin installed)
