hi
for the last couple of days email that i permanently delete from the deleted files always shows back up in my inbox everytime i open my mail. sometimes it comes back with 2 or 3 of the same thing. i run just ran the free online virus program Housecalls from trend micro.. and i also use the AVG program.. Could some give me some insight on what could be making this happen.. Could it possibly be a worm or virus i am dealing with? all suggestions will be greatly appreciated

On the E-mail entry in your In box, right click and select properties - details - message source. See if there are dates in there that suggest these are not the same E-mail re-appearing but more E-mails being sent. If you don't know who the E-mail is from, you may have a Trojan or someting. You can block the sender while you try to ascertain why they are being sent.
If you suspect you may have a trojan, you can try the free trial of 'Trojan Hunter'. It works for 30 days and is very quick... http://www.mischel.dhs.org/trojanhunter.jsp
