Viruses and worms

Hello. An icon is displaying in the right corner of the pc. Its say “Escaner del correo de avast [winlogon.exe → something.com” . And a message is appearing “Lot of equal message was sending from these computer.” Is this messages product of a virus? The Home Edition version can eliminated this virus?

Regards

If it is this icon, see image, it is the avast Internet Mail icon and it would appear you have an undetected/hidden trojan spambot on your system.

What is your firewall ?
It should be capable of blocking unauthorised outbound Internet Connections.

What is your OS ?

If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode and report the findings (it should product a log file).

  1. SUPERantispyware On-Demand only in free version. Or Spyware Terminator Resident scanner (if you use this don’t install the toolbar or crawler or the anti-virus module). Or a-Squared free. I suggest trying then in order as the order that represents the better detection and clean-up. Some elements of the programs might not work if you have an older OS like win9x or winME, this is namely the resident protection in SpywareTerminator.
