- my computer sending many unauthorized emails
- Posted by kapono on November 26th, 2005
I cannot find the program on my computer that is sending out massive
amounts of emails. If I didn't have my antivirus program scanning
outgoing emails, I wouldn't even know they're being sent. I had NAV
earlier in the week. It found and deleted "Trojan.danmec", then
returned cleaned scans. Still, the unauthorized emails kept getting
sent. I removed NAV and installed pc-cillin. It now return clean scans,
but still those massive emails are getting sent out. Anyone able to
help me on this?

Download and run TCPView
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html
and find out what program it is.
Can'd response:
download and run Process Explorer
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilitie...sExplorer.html
Double click on the process(s), reading it's image, and command line;
will tell you where to find them. stop the process and delete the
file/directory.
Run Regedit and search for the file name(s) deleting them as you find
them.

You are still infected. And perhaps, your current anti-virus .exes are
also infected. Time to download some other anti-virus apps, boot to safe
mode to install and run.

Try Knoppix, Mepis, DSL etc.
They can boot from and run from CD and not touch your hard disk.
All your hardware is autodetected for most types of
internet configurations if you have ethernet card.

1) All you need to do is install AVG from their site, and run AVG in safe
mode by pressing either F5 or F8 at startup (but make sure your AVG
antivirus is updated to the latest version) 7.1
This should remove all viruses
2) then make sure you have a decent spyware program such as spybot (but make
sure thats updated also before running) as the problem could also be spyware
mailing your emails.
This should remove all spyware (or most of it)
