 Weird email virus? or not? My bro is having a strange thing happen. When online Avast email scanner keeps popping up saying it is sending a message, like every single second. Crazy thing is my bro has no email setup on the PC, not outlook, nothing. How are these emails being sent? Is it some sort of virus? Valis!? :D Thanks.

| Weird email virus? or not? Does it say what program is attempting to send the emails? outlook? outlook express?

| Weird email virus? or not? No, just a info box in the system tray from Avast, when I hover the mouse over it the email address being sent to is displayed. As I said there is no email software or email accounts on the machine. I can only assume it's some sort of virus/rogue script. A virus scan picks up nothing.

| Weird email virus? or not? Managed to fix it just now by removing some suspect entrees in a hijack-this scan. Regardless if anyone knows what this was or how it works I'd be interested to know.

| Weird email virus? or not? Were talking 100s if not 1000s of emails being sent to random addresses. I deleted two DNS/Nameserver/IP address entrees from HJT. *EDIT* Similar to these I found in another thread: O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{108DB8FD-F197-49AA-8627-EBB48F39E81D}: NameServer = 194.72.9.34 62.6.40.178 O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{108DB8FD-F197-49AA-8627-EBB48F39E81D}: NameServer = 194.72.9.34 62.6.40.178

| Weird email virus? or not? Definitely a virus or a script/bot. Avast email scanner was going berserk, it couldn't scan the emails quick enough.
