Hi,

My computer got infected with spysheriff. I also found some entries with paytime. I managed to clean it out, but now everytime my computer detects an internet connection my computer tries to send hundreds of emails out to addresses (all with names starting with the letter 'C'. also the subject line reads RE[1]: , RE[2]:, and so on.) The Symantec email scanner is going ballistic. I have no clue whats going on. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

What does your firewall report?


If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

With ZoneAlarm, there's a tab for "logs".
