First job to do, go here. ActiveX Spyware & Adware Scanning http://www.spywareinfo.com/xscan.php This scanner is an ActiveX applet. After a short delay in which your browser downloads the control file, you will receive a "Warning Dialogue" requesting permission for the scanner to run. Click "Yes" and the applet will pop up and scan. You will be alerted if any spyware is found. When a spyware or malware is found, you will be alerted and asked if you want to remove it. If no spyware is found, the scanner will disappear on its own. If nothing happens, or if you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer, click here and choose either "Open" or "Run this program from its current location". Do not choose "Download". http://www.xblock.com/download/xclean_micro.exe ================================== Securing Your Computer: Temporarily Disable Real Time Monitoring Programs. http://wiki.castlecops.com/Securing_Your_Computer:_Temporarily_Disable_Real_Time_Monitoring_Programs Malware Removal and Prevention: Introduction http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal_and_Prevention:_Introduction Malware Removal and Prevention: Overview http://wiki.castlecops.com/Malware_Removal_and_Prevention:_Overview If Your PC is Infested w/ Spyware & Adware... http://spywarewarrior.com/sww-help.htm http://spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=6914 http://spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=10 http://spywarewarrior.com/viewforum.php?f=30 ==================================== Important: Create a specific folder on your hard drive called HijackThis to keep its backups.

so you are saying that you don't have a physical PC, and that you have a virus on Hotmail? One solution is to open a new account and lay the old one to rest. You may even try yahoo or gmail....both are free and in my opinion 100 times better than hotmail. If you need a gmail invite, just pm me and give me your e-mail address and I can send you one. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Are you sure that the Hotmail account is not being "spoofed"? There would be no actual malware, it is just that a bad guy has picked up the account address and is using it to forward the virus/trojan/worm onto others. The address could have been listed in someone's address book that received the actual worm, and is now "spoofing" to infect others. This is a very common action done by an infection to continue the spread of its packet.

rhi78, I kind of agree on the e-mail spoofing. You can read about it at the link below. Email spoofing Tufenuf
