I am pretty sure I have a virus but can not find out which one. Symantec show the window for scanning outgoing messages that I am not sending. I believe I have a virus with its own SMTP engine that is sending out the mail. How can I check this other then scanning the server (that has not picked up one yet). This is on a Server 2003 machine.

Make sure your virus definitions are upto date. There is a new virus (MyDoom.N) doing the rounds. Think there is a fix on the sophos website under support (but not certain). Also run your virus checks in safe mode. The virus may be local to your machine.
Go to and download the stinger tool. It will find and clean most of the modern virii running around that act as you mention.
