    hi all, a program appears to be using my system (xp) to send spam - it is pointing my connection to a domain i dont recognise also- my antivirus does not detect this ( spyware doctor also spybot ) also cant seem to restore system maybe due to the fact that i deleted a lot of programmes when i realised the connection was slowing ?? . would the deckhards system scanner app. as mentioned in previous threads work for this also ?, im helpless.

    First of all, neither Spyware Doctor nor Spybot are antivirus applications. Download one of the free antivirus software applications in my sig and see if that detects and kills it.

    You may have to put your computer into Safe Mode before you will be able to remove it.
