Hello John,

Someone should probably take a look at the system, you can go to one of the free help forums where a trained malware removal volunteer will assist you. Registration in order to post is free also.

I have a short list in the right side column here.

An analyst will advise you and set your mind at ease.

Cheers.

Hello Myrna,

There are a lot of comments in this thread, please read them, especially the advice to ‘never’ click on unsubscribe in spam email.

In addition to forwarding I have included the following:

SPAM@ UCE.GOV -disabled live link. CB

My G-mail address has been hijacked!!!
I DID NOT ORIGINATE THIS G-MAIL!!!
Nor did I subscribe to any MSN features!!!
PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!

When you click unsubscribe you go into a loop, for their products!!!

I also indicated I do not have a wife as I am a female on the vedios claiming to be from my wife etc…

I use the library computer, and they have a system where nothing can be retained once it closes and restarts…

I received many of these g-mails that hijacked my address to me, and wonder how many other people are receiving such spam thinking it’s from me… My pastor also got one from my hijacked address… I forwarded to the gov address all hijacked with my address to me… I wish I did not have to open them to send them… As with the others I just delete… Whoever is doing this, is also wrongfully assuming that I am a male… I also made the mistake to click on the link to unsubscribe, but instead found it to be a loop back to their products instead…

Dear Certifiedbug,

I have just found your website and it is very informative.

Just lately I have also been receiving numourous emails with “MSN Featured Offers” and Pharmacy offers using my email as the sender and being sent to me along with the other spam. I have also noticed in the last few weeks that the “Internet” and “Wireless” light on my wireless home hub are blinking like crazy whereas I do not recall them doing this in the past. I am therefore suspicious that my laptop computer is being used as a proxy or zombie computer for mass mailing. I do run AVG Free Edition and Ad-Aware on a fairly regular basis and remove anything that is highlighted by these programs but the light activity remains the same.

My question is if there is any easy way or any other way to determine if one’s computer has been compromised and is being used as a spam mass mailer or for any other nefarious reasons.

Thank you for any help
