Infection

    Hey guys, have some sort of infection which i can't seem to figure out.

    I was playing a game on-line with one of my friends through direct-ip and had to turn off my firewall.When I exited the game I noticed my email scanner was reporting 2000 or so emails sent per min.I reactivated the firewall and shut down the offending processes but they keep restarting under different names.My net-stat has about 30 different items( which are all local addresses) and my email scanner keeps connecting to foreign ips.I ran a virus scan and it found 3 infections(an hour earlier it had nothing) which i removed but the problem is still there.I would really appreciate any help.Thanks

    In the 2 mins or so i spent typing this I've sent just over 12000 emails

    My PC has just blue screened twice in under ten minutes. I've been running 7 since the first beta and this is my first bsod. So I'm now typing this from Ubuntu.

    hi Sigi,

    update your antivirus definitions if possible and do the following:

    - physically disconnect your PC from the internet
    - switch off system restore (Control Panel, System, System Protection)
    - reboot and keep tapping F8 until you get the Windows startup menu - select Safe Mode
    - run a full scan with your antivirus software and let your antivirus software repair or quarantine any infected files
    - leave PC disconnected from the internet
    - reboot normally and run another full scan
    - report back here with as much detail as possible

    which antivirus product are you using?
