spam like emails that only say "RSET" & "quit"

My wifes email account at work is receiving email from my computer that only
say "quit" or "RSET quit". I can see these emails on my computer. They are
sent to her about once a minute whenever I have Microsoft Office Outlook
open. I have tried the Microsoft update, Norton antivirus, & spybot. I
think maybe my computer was attacked during the brief moment that I lowered
the protection levels on my internet security while I was trying to upload a
video to Youtube. How do I stop these spammed or Hijacked messages?

I just saw a forum posting for a product called 'POP Peeper' that had a bug
that would do what you're seeing. Do you have that program or possibly
another program that interacts with mail on your machine?

I am having a similar problem. I was going to send out a large email, but
when I realized it was ridiculously large (200Mb) I tried to cancel it.
After that everyone that I was sending it to has gotten a "QUIT" or "RSET
QUIT" message every 1-7 minutes.
