| 1189560 | 2011-03-26 04:26:00 | I have recently bought a new laptop, an ASUS with Intel Core I5 processor, 500Gb hard Disk, 4 GB RAm, fitted with Windows 7 Home Premium O/S. I have installed avast antivirus security. However, I am finding that my outward messages have an attachment: Hi, Spring Promotion! I have good news for you. Last week, I order one Apple iPad Wi-Fi + 3G (16GB). from this website www.slsmemo.com, I've received the item today. It's amazing! The item is original, brand new and has high quality, but it's much cheaper. I'm pleased to share this good news with you! I believe you will find what you want there and have an good experience on shopping from them. Spring Promotion! Buy 2 products or more, discounts of 10%. Best regards! How do I get rid of it? |

| 1189563 | 2011-03-26 07:05:00 | Uh oh!! I've just noticed that the attachment was sent with messages to two people on my address list to whom I have most definitely not sent messages in the last 24 hours!! | jno (12040) | ||

| 1189566 | 2011-03-26 07:42:00 | Try MS Security Essentials it seems better than Avast at some of this newer adware/malware. Just did exactly that, after getting unexpected results from an extended Google search this afternoon. Avast did not find anything, while MSSE found the culprit after doing a full search. | PPp (9511) | ||
| 1189567 | 2011-03-26 19:05:00 | Remember people, you need to have anti-spyware in addition to whatever antivirus you have. In fact make sure you have at least 2 antispywares. Spybot plus Malware Bytes or Superantispyware. |

| 1189569 | 2011-03-27 06:42:00 | OK folks, thanks for all this advice. I've spent the morning getting rid of Avast on my old and new laptops, and installing Microsoft Security Essentials and having both machines run a full scan, and now I'll install Spybot and one of the other two. I'll check them out and see which one I prefer - unless anyone with experience can advise me which is the better. | jno (12040) | ||
