no idea, my advice (having dealt with a particularly nasty virus myself that infected three computers at my house) is to first make sure you have a pre-virus system backup and then completely wipe your machine, its the only way to really get rid of one. and try Kapersky or Webroot Spysweeper, both are excellent programs.

EDIT: also, if that sucker gets your mac address, theres nothing it can't do

You've got some kind of worm attaching itself to emails it sounds like, if nobody here can help, there's a prog called HJT [Hiijack This] and these guys can help! --> here

Good call TG! As long as he knows what to do with the results.

Yep, he has to download it first [HJT], then basically post his problem, and do exactly what they say, they are masters at getting rid of the more 'stubborn' problems

Yuppers... its a worm. Try googling the name of the Re: mail and then find and run the worm removal tool. I know symantec lets you dl these tools for free.

As per the first guys advice............Even if you think you have solved the problem via a scan or whatever will you ever be happy that the virus is still not lurking there?..........Clean and reinstall is the safest route

DON'T do any backups to any external device. This is a Trojan/Worm. Hopefully TG's suggestion as to what to do and where to go will work. If they don't you'll have to do a low level format and reinstall everything.

That's lotsa fun. Believe me.

Damn, Doc. You are getting close to Zubaz in the KP area!! 

Hey Don, I sent you some help, your email sent it back to me. Approve me dude, but don't email me...lol. 

It's really ain't that bad Doc. I do it a few times a year, just for that new PC feel. The speed and freshness of a brand new rig come back after a format and reinstall. I do it at least twice a year. If you keep backups, it really ain't so bad. 

This reminds of the 'Happy 98' email virus, or was it 99 it wasn't that bad, just an attachment that was sent out with every email, of an exe, which.. I clicked on, being new to the net at the time, and it was a really nice animation of fireworks, I thought it was great.. then everybody kept emailing me telling me to quit sending them stuff that was an easy removal.. one of the worst, was istbar..[not email related] that's when I met the HJT guys.. and after a few hours of doing the most INSANE stuff [whatever they asked] my system was clean

To late. I all ready emailed you. lol

Thanks for all the suport you all are giving me.

Yrag has sent me a scan to do. He has helped me many time so i do his first. Boy i hope it works.

This will be my second test

Been thinking of this many times over. If all others fail. I will need to do the crash

I will keep you all posted when test is done.

Good luck mate

If you don't want to format your computer.

I would take the following steps.

- Download and Install/Update and run a complete scan with NOD32 Anti-Virus (www.eset.com) NOT FREE they do have V4, which is beta.

- Download and Install/Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

- Download and Install and then run a complete scan SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition.

if you know the file that is being attached to your email. You can submit it to www.virustotal.com. VirusTotal has 30+ some anti-virus software that scan the file to determine if its some kind of malware. You might be able to find a remover on-line.

P.S. Avast is a great Anti-Virus Product although, from my understanding there are kind of slow with new virus.

P.S.S The best way to make sure your computer is FREE of malware is to completely format your computer.

Ok. Yrag test came up empty.  Thanks Yrag for the help. I will keep it for the future to use.

Next Hijack This.

I will also add that my incomming email has slowed down with the system mail delivery. Maybe  my computer is safe and it just take a while for all the mail errors to go thrue with mail system.

I agree, but Spybot S&D is the way to go as for the other.

Yeah, I should have also included SpyBot S&D. If one of them miss the others hopefully get it.
