Trojan-Spy.HTML.Fraud.gen in Outlook Express

17 years ago

Hello,

Web pages and email with grahics were loading slowly although I've cleaned out all junk, defragged, checked the disks for errors, and run Spybot and Ad-Aware as well as updated SpywareBlaster. I always have McAfee anti-virus running, which is also updated. I figured that there still might be some malware or virus, etc. on my computer, so I ran a Kaspersky online scan and found Trojan-Spy.HTML.Fraud.gen in two emails in the Sent folder of Outlook Express 6, but I don't know which ones. I understand from a Google search that this trojan is usually found in HTML links, but I don't want to delete my entire Sent folder. I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad with 196 GB of RAM, 106 GB free space on my hard drive, and Windows XP, SP3. All of this is updated. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    try getting malwarebytes and update it then run full scan.
    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

    * Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
    * At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    * If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    * Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
    * When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    * Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    * When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt
    * Please post the contents of that file in your next reply

    be sure you allow it to clean what it finds, you may need to reboot.

    Go in to your sent folder and right click on the suspicious email and choose Scan with anitvirus. You can do each email this way until you find the two that are infected.
