Hi All-

Something is sending a malfored email every few seconds on a XP machine the is our file server. What can I do to identify the program or process sending the email?

I have tried several scanners to hunt down trojans, but have not found the culprit.

All advice welcomed!

TIA!
 
check the Services running and watch for a spike in programs running and see if you can zero in on it.
 
sleipnir214, star for you.
i should have recommended that right off.
 
TYVM sleipnir!

The offending program was Trend Micro sending a malformed email message every few seconds or so. It was easy to spot with TCPView.

Thanks again for your help!
