I'm connected to the internet with cable so my pc is "on net" all time.
I have one of the free firewalls and it seems to work but I get strange behavior.
I had the W32Klez virus about a week ago in my temporary internet files so my Norton software said. I use Norton 2001 antivirus and keep it updated. Don't know how the virus got past it but I downloaded a removal tool and removed it about a week ago. I was getting email notes back from the server level saying that my email was undeliverable because my machine had a virus. The notes also showed who the mail was sent to. I have never sent email to any of the people showed on any of the notes except for one individual who I know.
My virus scan now shows the machine to be clear of any virus yet I am still getting undeliverable notifications to people that I have not sent emails to.
Could a hacker be using my pc to spread viruses? How can I determine if a hacker has been in my pc?
I appreciate any help or advice offered.
