Help Needed With Outlook Please!!!

[The Joker]

Am a pc cripple & have no idea how this is happenin, so bear with me with me explanation!!

Opened outlook this am 2 go & retrieve me mail, didn't notice at 1st but there was loads of mail in me outbox, suddenly realised that these mails looked like they were bein sent, so stopped it but outlook kept copyin mail from me inbox to me outbox. Checked me sent items but there was nowt recently sent in there. Went in & deleted all mail from me outbox but it kept addin mail to me outbox! So I exported all me folders 2 a psv file, deleted all the mail & it seemed 2 stop. Anyways retrieved me incomin mail & it started again copyin from me inbox 2 me outbox, so exported me mail 2 a psv file & then deleted me mail from me inbox & it seems 2 have stopped. Have I explained meself well enough? Why is outlook doin this, is it actually sendin the mail & how can I stop it???

Any help will be gratefully received!!

Sounds like you have a "proof of receipt" option activated which is basically confirming to the original sender that you have recieved the mail.
You using Outlook or Outlook express ?

Sounds like the activity of a virus?

yeah.. if your using Outlook it should prompt you first shouldn't it?

I dunno, whats the content of the mails being sent?

not sure but it could be a virus, are you up to date with your virus scanner?

Not sure to be honest Fug its something I never use, I use Post Cast Server.


I suppose it could indeed be a virus.

Rite I've run both programs, on fugjostle house clean 1, there were 10 trojan infected files, summat called lovegate! It let me delete 8 of the files but the other 2 it said it cudn't delete cos they were in use!! I restarted & ran it again & still had 1 infected file called "111.dll". Again I cudn't delete it, so I ran Myk's ravantivirus program, it found the same file but cudn't clean it! Can I jus delete this file from where it's stored or will I do more harm than gud?

Cheers in advance 4 any help tis much appreciated
