I have been getting notifications that my e-mail did not arrive to a certain address because a virus was found within it, but I had not sent any e-mails to the address listed. I also have been getting loads of spam e-mails from people trying to sell; ******, stocks and all sorts of things and I am wondering if my e-mail has been commandeered by someone else. Is this possible and how do I find out?

I have run Norton Virus scans, TDS-3, Ad-Aware, and Spybot scans with no positive reults.

This is just curiosity and it probably won't work, but have you tried a reinstall?

And are you fully updated?

Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer with

Kaspersky Online Scanner

Next Click on Launch Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.

• The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
• Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
• Now click on Scan Settings
• In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
  • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  • Standard
  • Scan Options:
  • Scan Archives
    Scan Mail Bases
• Click OK
• Now under select a target to scan:
  • Select My Computer
• This will program will start and scan your system.
• The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
• Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the Save as Text button:
• Save the file to your desktop.
• Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Take note the names and locations of any file it detects but fails to clean.

* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan

I'm having the same exact problems! Has there been a fix to this?
