Thanks to all of you for your help.
Don't think I am any further forward - although emails seem to have stopped for just now !
Ran vcleaner in safe mode - didn't find anything.
Renamed HijackThis (to DesperateNow
) but logs just looked pretty much identical.
I haven't been brave enough to start editing using the Process Manager stuff yet !
Frank (I think it was you ?) asked if I had isolated which app was sending the email by using Zone Alarm.
All I can say is that every time I start Outlook I get at best a handful of 'delivery failures' in my inbox and at worst about 70. I have everything set to ask for access via Zone Alarm...but nothing really does. Not sure what - if anything else I can do there ?
In another desperate effort to stop me throwing the whole PC out the window I have just repaired Microsoft Office. No dodgy emails in the last half hour - but this is most likely a false dawn. I have gone a couple of hours before with nothing.
When I first found the Warezov-MF (via Avast) it was embedded in one of my pst files. It was one that I didn't use so I just deleted the whole .pst.
I have updated my Java app as well as several others. I have also ditched all of the BTYahoo protection stuff that I seem to be paying pretty dearly for - and its no use !
At the end of all this I think I have learned that Avast Home 4.7 plus the free Zone Alarm is good enough security for me in the future (with regular SpyBot style checking too !)
Thank you all for your help. It is good to know that there are some good folk out there willing to help this sad geezer !

P.S. Whole 50 minutes now since last dodgy email.....needs to go until I wake in the morning before I am happy !
