Hi all. I first noticed this when Bitdefender (Internet Security 2008) was notifying that it was scanning outgoing mail, many times in succession! I know my email client was not sending. When I go to settings, antivirus, more statistics, it indicates many scanned emails and in the "last scanned email" it shows there is obvious spam email activity from my computer. If I go to firewall, activity, and look under "svchost", and expand "connections", there are many open connections on port 25, which are continually updating. My PC is obviously being used as a bot to send spam. Bitdefender has picked up nothing unusual. I gave Spybot a go and it also picks up nothing threatening. Any ideas?
Cheers, Fester
