hello. a recently installed program in my WINNT folder (though i did not install it!) called java.exe and services.exe are AGRESSIVELY trying to access the net and send emails. i have blocked their access using my firewall. i can only assume it slipped past via an email from someone i know (an attachement called mail.zip that unzips as a file called mail.scr).
can anyone help me identify what this is and how to rid myself of it? i am already NAV to no avail.
