Hey

I recieved a phonecall today from my ISP's Security Department saying they had temporarily blocked my internet connection due to the fact my IP had sent out 240,000 emails yesterday and little over 250,000 today, so just under half a million emails in two days.

The lady on the phone said it was obvious i had some sort of virus infection on my PC and to run a scan, this i do on regular occassion using AVG aswell as SpyBot and Adaware. So i again ran a scan on all 3 and used 2 online virus scanners (Symantec and FSecure) like she suggested.

Neither of them picked up anything significant. I also ran them on the 2nd PC i have connected to the line, which again found nothing significant.

I then resorted to installing WireShark to track what is being sent and found out that there were SMTP data being sent every few seconds on Ports 110 and 23 so, i blocked these using my router and windows firewall, i also have Remote Registry and Terminal Services disabled on my computer but after checking what was running in my services i found these had both been enabled and were both running, so i shut them both down and disabled.

I cant seem to figure out where they are coming from and what is causing them, i have confirmed it is deffinetly this PC as this is what WireShark shows with the source IP, im just stuck as to what to do next?
