Sounds like a virus.
Do a complete virus scan.

At boot if your antivirus supports it.

What is the content of the sent emails ?

Hi Booslady,

The restore point sounds like a great idea. Just make sure that it totally fixes your issue because I have seen reports (from malware forums) that a sytem restore to a previous point does not always work. Why? I have no idea because I see no reason why it should not work. Anyway, did any of your scans specifically identify the malware infection by name? If so, that information might help others going forward. Thanks, in advance, for your response and good luck.

Hmmm... that would be a really smart virus indeed. So, you wheel it in through the gates of your PC and it is a timed-release virus (like doomsday), so when you rollback to a previous point, the current date never changes, the timed release is activated and whammo; here come the Spartans! Interesting... good point Dave!
