"Internet Spy" Worm (Mail spam)?
Hi there!
I'm having a huge problem on removing a worm called (I think) "Internet Spy". I already have the Worm Detector from KL Soft but this program only search for virus in the Outlook.
The particular thing about this virus (worm) is that it doesn't use the Outlook. It sends himself out of outlook and i know it because i'm having constant messages from Norton appearing everytime a mail is sent and everytime it is rejected by the the mail server.It also send mails to people that I don't have the mail address, it gets mail addresses from somewhere else...
Norton doesn't detect nothing and neither Worm Detector!
I need help on how to remove it please.
(It hasn't destroyed files, but it uses a lot of memory and internet bandwitch and creates a lot of spam)
My Info:
OS -> WinXP
Mail Program -> Outlook XP
Anti-Virus -> Norton 2003; Worm Detector
Thank you!

Where you have concern for outgoing bandwidth, do note that some personal firewall software can and will filter outgoing packets. Take ZoneAlarm, for example, which also has a free downloadable (not shareware) to advertise you purchase their other wares. While not great forensically, it can log some information that may help identify that which is trying to send IP from your machine.
