I checked sarc.com but nothing on it. I heard this on a car board I am on. Any truth? "Just a note of warning... For the last couple of weeks, I have been getting "connection refused" errors on my Win XP computer at home any time I tried to access web pages. I got the message on 3Si, SBN, CNN, Ureach.com and even when trying to access my own router. I could reboot, it would work fine for 20 minutes or so and then start refusing connections again. I finally got frustrated and installed Norton last night. It seems that a program called WebMail_Checkit!.exe would sieze my network connection and use my computer to send SPAM all over the internet. It was sending at the rate of one message about every twenty seconds and was advertising penis elargement pills. What's worse is that it was using my own email address as the "reply-to". Just a warning... if you're having *ANY* network problems at all, check for the SPAM virus. Damn SPAMmers... they'll literally do anything to try to make a quick buck.

It's a freebie, actively maintained and is quite good at ferreting out spyware and such. Probably would have picked this up as well, but I'm not going to infect my machine to find out ;) Best Regards, Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
