    Thanks:), i've already taken the time to read that thread:), thats why I know it will take more then a couple of hours, been 2 and a halve hours this far, but I think it will take 1 to 2 days, but do you perhaps have any suggestions for my Norton Antivirus 2005 program so I wont get those annoying messages anymore; right now i'm getting messages indicating my e-mails are being scanned, while I did not send any e-mails!
    Also i'm getting pop-ups from Norton, telling me that my e-mails are blocked, but it doesnt give me 1 pop-up or message, no i'm getting hundreds!
    Is there anyway i can adjust my Norton so I won't be getting those annoying messages and pop-ups without stopping Norton from blocking the Spams and/or virus thingy's the virus is sending?
    (perhaps the wrong place to ask, but it's not really a Software PROBLEM, it's a software Question, so I thought, perhaps I should ask it here:confused: )
    Sorry if I guessed it wrong:)

    Multiple emails getting sent and not from you on your PC, is a sign of an infection sending those out, if Norton is blocking them, let it as your ISP can give you a warning or halt your service for flooding their servers with infected emails.. until your deemed clear of malware, so best to have them blocked and wait for one of the malware guys to assist you.

    I was already afraid you would be going to say that:(
    Alright then, I will sit tight and wait untill this darn pesky Malware thing is removed, btw before I say things I would regret later.. What is Malware actually? I know Spyware, Virus, Trojan(horse) and Keyloggers, but what is Malware?:p
