Virus-Need help
Darn Malware
Wednesday, January 14, 2009 by WeatherBound | Discussion: Personal Computing
I have vista and was running One-Care Anti virus and firewall. Some how a virus came into my system.
I have uninstalled One-Care and installed Avast Antivirus software that has a boot scan. I did the boot scan and it found 5 viruses on my system. Avast took care of those. I installed Comodo firewall just because i think it better to have a firewall installed.
I then Installed MalwareByts Anti malware soft-wear and it found one attack. And deleted it.
So far all sounds good but
I am still receiving messages in my Email saying that my email i sent did not go thrue and gives me the email addresses where it was supposed to go. I do not Email very much and all these addresses where not sent by me.
I will also add that i did try Ad-Aware, Spy-blaster and Avg and others and all say everything is Good.
I am still getting theses could not be delivered emails that i did not send. when i look at the date the error message says the recent date of today.....
Has any one run in to this? If so how long does it take for those could not be delivered emails to get out of the Email system?
I will tell you it has been since Friday since all scans have been showing up with no viruses.
If you have had this virus. Let me know what you did to get rid of it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Update
Email has stooped for now. Its been about 24hr free
Thanks Jim
I have done so many scans by so many different soft wear. firewalls anti-virus and malware. Some slowed down my computer and some did OK.
Yrag told me to try Kaspersky. So I did the Kaspersky Internet Security.
It has made my computer run much faster. web pages pop up really fast and that includes WC.
So thanks for the advice Yrag

Yes, and you'd be surprised how big your Stardock folder can be. Mine is 5.4 GB.
