Hello,

I get this warning message at start of Windows:
vmmdiag32.exe is not a valid Win 32 application

I have McAfee installed and it discovered a couple of viruses in Internet Temporary Files while I was browsing the Internet and got rid of them.
Then McAFee started to detect worm activity becaue many e-mails were being sent from my computer, all of them were spam.
I continued to have McAFee warning messages about those sent e-mails. I used to click "stop" sending the messages, but the warning messages did not stop until I disabled scanning outbound mails from McAFee options.
Then I had the warning message of vmmdiag32.exe.

I'm not sure if these incidents are related, but do you know what is wrong and how I can get rid of this problem?

Thank you,
Nadia

You should not have disabled the scanning of outbound messages. You have probably infected a lot of your friends.

Do yourself a favor BACKUP!
