Possible Email Trojan???

Folks,

This evening I got the following 'bounce' email back to me. It looks like I tried to send it but I did not.

It's either completely spoofed to look like I sent it or there is something on my machine sending mail out on the sly.

Anti-Trojan 5.5 came back clean.

Any suggestions on the above?

Many Thanks

Barry

Re: Possible Email Trojan???

If you are sure about the email address that it's a valid email address then it's possible that you have the Mydoom.A or Mydoom.B Worm. Read here and patch your Outlook:

good luck

XMAN,

I ran a check for both variants of MyDoom from the link you sent me. Came back clear both times.

Any other possiblities you can think of?

Many Thanks,

Barry

60% of my users complained about this.

Someone who has your e-mail addrress in contacts got infected with this virus.It sends e-mails to many addresses with your e-mail address as source. That's why you recieve the undelivery messages.

Alexander,

What worries me is that the Received from header has both my IP address AND my machine ident.

>Received: from [**.128.18.159] (helo=tbird)


Doesn't this suggest that the mail DID originate on my machine?

Is there a better Trojan search tool than Anti-Trojan 5.5?

Thanks again

Hi.
Go to this link to read more about the virus:
http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MYDOOM.A


As for removal tool-I'd recomend to download from www.trendmicro.com their removal.

Search in that site for a file name sysclean.com and download it to your machine.Then try to run it-it'll complain about some file missing (don't remember it's name-I'm at home at the moment) search for it and download it to the same directory that the sysclean is and run sysclean again. It's pretty good.
