Crazy email forwarding...

Unread postby gdot » July 19th, 2008, 3:46 pm

Emails in my inbox are being sent to (apparently) random addressbook entries. Spybot S&D and other malware detectors show a clean machine. Reformatting did not solve. Finally, I stopped using email clients and moved to WebMail (first, HotMail, then moved to gMail)... Emails keep being forwarded (???!!!) I'm lost. Any help, any hint,
any clue?

TIA

Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.


Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly :D

Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
Be assured, any links I give are safe

Due to lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
