560762 2007-06-20 02:45:00 At work Outlook 2002 email account settings keep changing, almost everyday.
It changes the email account name by putting pop3.officemail.co.nz at the end of it and it puts localhost into the incoming server pop3 box.
Strange!

I have virus scanned the computer and run HiJackThis and Spybot and have found nothing that has infected the computer.

Any suggestions on what could be causing this would be great.

Cheers

560763 2007-06-20 02:48:00 hmmmm..:illogical Tried deleting and re-creating the account? I suppose it's possible a setting has got stuffed up somewhere along the line. wratterus (105)
560764 2007-06-20 02:57:00 It is your AV mail scanning that is doing this.
Disable the Incoming mail scan in your AV which is probably NAV
Even though it will not scan for viruses while downloading mail your AV will still give you protection.

560765 2007-06-20 03:50:00 Theres no AV installed, well the closest thing to one is Trend Micro Office Scan which has been on our systems for ages, and as far as I can tell that doesn't scan the incoming or outgoing emails.

I might try and create a new account like wrattus suggested, it's just that we will have to ring xtra for our password as no one can remember it and ringing xtra as you all know can be a hassel.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks guys

560766 2007-06-20 04:58:00 Maybe do a HJT scan and post the logfile so Speedy can have a look and see if there's anything suspicious. beeswax34 (63)

I can find any thing dodgy but maybe you can. Thanks

It is a work computer so I cant change too much but if theres something in there that may be causing this problem, that would be great.

560768 2007-06-20 08:22:00 Looks ok to me but u can tick these entries then tick fix checked.

Put HJT in its own folder first and close browser/s.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SoundMan] SOUNDMAN.EXE

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [REGSHAVE] C:\Program Files\REGSHAVE\REGSHAVE.EXE /AUTORUN

I dont know what u did for these to be here.

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

O6 - HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Unless most of the PC is locked down.

Uninstall all versions of Sun Java. The latest is in my sig below.

I dont know why these are in the log

O24 - Desktop Component 0: (no name) - www.monacocorp.co.nz

O24 - Desktop Component 1: (no name) - www.panasonic.co.nz

It could be the virus scanner changing the things u posted. Check the virus scanner options. Under the email scanning.

560769 2007-06-20 08:58:00 Have a look at this (solutionfile.trendmicro.com)

It could be Officescan thats causing this prob.

As it states:

Due to the architecture of the Internet mail scan function, the account name and the name of the incoming POP3 server changes.

However, if you are using a supported Internet mail client such as Outlook 98 or above, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, or Eudora, OfficeScan will automatically make these changes and will not affect you receiving mail.

If you are using an unsupported Internet mail client, in the mail configuration settings refer to your mail client documentation) you must manually change the incoming server to localhost and change the account name to name/pop3server (name is your account name and pop3server is the POP3 mail server name).
