malware

by luckycanine Dec 23, 2009 8:14AM PST

Have windows live, vista 64 bit system. My email account apparently is sending out emails to a vast # of people, as my inbox is sometimes flooded with "delievery failures". Nortan scans show no problems. Contacted Norton Internet Security 2010 online dealer who sold it to me, who referred me back to Norton, who in turn said the seller might not be an authorized dealer and referred me back to them. In short Norton is not catching the malware. Tried Malwarebytes Anti-Virus, which can not find the problem either.

Another problem, whenever I try to forward an email the following attaches itself automatically in windows live,:
