    If you are worried about trojans you should try the following

    Seems to be the one that experienced users prefer and the one that has been on the market the longest.

    make sure to update it before running it

    thanks for help but i'm not sure if it is even a trojan . but in my hotmail account i keep getting these returned mail's from addy's that i never even heard of and it's like they were sent from me but i never sent anything to these addy's . they say something like "RETURNED MAIL UNKOWN ADDRESS"

    G.T. R.I.P February 4, 2007. You will be missed.

    If the virus scans are clean, it's probably just one of the newer viruses that spoof the sender's address (somebody ELSE that just has your email addy on their system, which the virus grabs & shows as the sender). Annoying, but if that's the case, you're not infected. Just delete the return messages, and hope that whoever it is that's actually infected gets it cleaned up soon.
