I have been having some outlook problems. People have been having issues emailing me, and occassionally I get some failure delivery notices. Well today, on a business issue, I emailed a Belarussian ambassador. 15 minutes later, I'm called and informed that I have spammed said gentleman's email with porn along in the same email I had been sending. So to recap, I sent a picture to someone. Inside the same message, my computer attached a bunch of porn. What in good god do I do? I've also now found out that I've been sending other members of my contact list porn.

It could be malware or a trojan botnet. Run an ON-LINE ANTI-VIRUS SCAN at:

CLICK HERE to go to SCAN

Download FREE TRIAL of TROJAN HUNTER 4 from:
CLICK HERE to go there

For malware and adware scans, download and install:

Spybot S&D from:
CLICK HERE to go there

Lavasoft AdAware from :

CLICK HERE to go there

Then, after cleansing your system, disable SYSTEM RESTORE, reboot and re-enable System Restore after you log-on. This will "cleanse" your restore points, which could be reinstalled should you need to roll back later. Finally, reboot to complete the process.

Are you sure your email addy isn't being spoofed? What type of anti-virus/spyware detector programs are you using?

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
