Download AVG and / or NOD32.

And if you are, stop using Lookout Express.

wouldnt touch lookout/outlook express with a fucking huge stick.

i got avast pro running, and just scanned with the two mentioned online scanners. The virus isnt there now. I just wanted to know how it got these address that i havent saved anywhere. wheres the cache for these?

what wrong with outlook express? [/b][/quote]
the biggest problem with outlook is that you download the emails to your comp b4 reading them , and thus download viruses with them, these viruses may remain dormant as long as your dont open them , but still they are there and it only takes a mistake and boom one new virus

you should re direct your isp email, to a hotmail account and read it up there rather that downloading anything

but a virus scan would pic it up

Wrong. Lookout uses IE as its engine, so I could just shove in some malicious ActiveX / COM code into the message itself.

i do use nod32 already. I repeat again, i dont have the virus anymore. it was in my system for like an hour when i was away from the pc, I opened an email, went out, came back and it was there.

i still want to know how it found the email address pls

One of your friends might have had that virus. Or maybe someone bought it from a spam list.
