Symantec email scanner going crazy

    Yesterday morning when I started my PC, the Symantec email scanner started going crazy trying to scan emails. I'm guessing there was some sort of hijack with a bot sending emails through my Outlook (this is my work computer)

    I installed SuperAntiSpyware and it found some Trojans, so it removed them. All was right with the world again.

    Until this morning. The same thing started happening again, but this time, when I scanned with SuperAntiSpyware, it didn't find anything. I also scanned with AVGFree and currently have Spybot Search & Destroy doing a scan.

    This is my work computer connected to a server, so I'd prefer not to be rooting around in the registry and stuff. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

    Cheers
