Virus Elimination

[Randall Princeton]

Something is lurking on my machine. It has all of the
symptoms of the W32/Swen@MM virus. I have downloaded the
latest program to eliminate the problem but the software
indicates that I do not have this virus. I contend I do.
When Outlook starts I get gibberish eMails ususally having
something like "Inet Storage Service" or MS Inet Message
Storage System" in the FROM box, or some other message
indicating some type of eMail failure. My ISP keeps an
eMail history log and I looked these messages up. NONE of
them appear on the server. This tells me that there is an
executable or macro running when Outlook first starts, but
I don't know what the name is. Does anyone have a clue?
Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Randall Princeton

I too have been plagued by these emails. They are all
coming from a patch that claims to be from Microsoft
saying that this is the last patch but it is not from
Microsoft and does contain a virus. They are trying to
get into your system anyway they can so just keep
deleting them!
