You dont have a virus, it's a feature of noton antivirus. This is so a virus doesent send itself to everyone in your address book without you knowing. You can disable it by clicking options, goto email, uncheck scan incomming email and scan outgoing email. You might want to leave them checked though. ;)

u could also have spyware running on your machine.

Maybe get something like 'Pest Patrol' to scan for such loggers etc.

Norton does not pick these up and there are many lurking on p2p for download.
