Hi PaPear:

Thanks so much for your input and assistance. If the machine was here I am
sure that I could handle your recommendations, but being away is another
story and I agree with your last comments.

I have one other question for you. Since NAV did not detect anything, plus
he apparently has no spyware/malware software installed, could
spyware/malware cause this in lieu of a virus per se?

I am sure that I can get Ad-aware Personal SE, Spy-Bot, Windows Defender
installed and ran. I also feel that he has plenty of spyware most likely,
but I do not know if removal of it would possibly clear this problem?

Thanks again for all your help.

Tom

Again, /your/ machine's (probably) not infected, *his* is.

Getting a clean bill of health from NAV does NOT mean the machine is
clean.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Hi:

I had dad accomplish the following in trying to resolve his email
problem
of me receiving a copy of his email sent only to his son when I am not an
addressee.

I deleted both me and his son from his address book, rebooted, and had
him send an email only to his son. I continue to erroneously receive a
copy
of same.

He has Norton AV installed and he has their latest update of Dec 27,
2006
and he ran a complete scan and nothing was detected.

His computer apparently is sending out emails that he has not sent to
other addressee's. I called his DSL supplier Alltel and spoke with them
and
they also feel his computer has a worm/virus. I am sorta at a lost as to
why
Norton would not detect anything.

No doubt PaBear is on target about a Trojan etc. My problem now is
detecting it and eliminating it when Norton has not been able too.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi:

I am receiving confirmation of an email sent by a cousin to his dad. The
strange thing is how can I receive an email confirmation when I was not
an
addressee?

All three of us have different ISP's. My cousin has his email settings
to
receive confirmation of receipts, but again how can I be receiving a
confirmation when he sends his dad an email and his dad opens it? In
addition, all emails that his dad sends him I get a copy even though I am
not an addressee.

This is mind boggling and I sure hope someone can tell me what needs to
be
accomplished to prevent this from happening.

Thanks
