Getting about 500 a day, none of which i have sent. I have scanned with Norton and am left with the following 5 adware which i cannot delete off my system.
Adware topsearch, BDE, p2p networking, 180 solutions, zango search.
Can anyone tell me if these can be the cause of MY computer sending me all these emails???? it looks like the same url numbers but im not absolutely sure. I have been given several remedies one is to reinstall all my system but i am reluctant to do this if not necessary. Advise please. I could forward headers to anyone who can help. Im with wanadoo. Ive got adware,spybot, malware etc.

Having p2p networking is kinda asking for attack.

Having emails returned that you didn't send is quite normal if you are getting spam email. The most usual way to get this is to have left your email in open text on the Interenet. Once you are on the spammers email list you are stuck with it. They sell CD's to each other with these email addresses, based on search engines that look for the @ sign.

They all have my email addy so welcome to the club....

You could try this program:
A2FREE - JUST DOWN PAGE

Otherwise it is probably "HijakThis log time". The following Auto Analyzers might help but after that you need help from experts:

HJT DETECTIVE
Iamnotageek ANALYZER
German Analyzer (English version)

Probably best try them in the order given. You let HJT remove the bad entries "only when you are certain" you know what you are doing.
