Hi,

I'm using Avast 4.7 demo and it does a great job but I got a problem for 5 days now, there are many many messages like (french):

Il y a trop de mails identiques envoyés dans un faible intervalle de temps


Expéditeur :  "Meuric Burkhart" <dimaioujana@alibre.com>

Sujet :  Re: newIl y a trop de mails identiques envoyés dans un faible intervalle de temps
I've got hundreds of those per day. The only way I found to stop this is to low my protection about Email.
I'm using an external email box (gmail.com) and no outlook software or so on...

Can anyone help at all, please, I'm going crazy  :o

This is a feature of Internet Mail provider. It's the Heuristic module.
Are you sending a lot of identical emails at a time?
If not, probably your computer could being used to send spam  :P

Please, clean your temporary files, schedule a boot time scanning with avast and use other trojan removers to get clean. Download, install, update and run:
