I have noticed that my email account has sent out messages that are bounced from other firewalls. The messages are sent from a ficticious account with my domain name and the emails are the general spam variety. When I do a virus search, nothing comes up. How do I find and clean the virus? I use a G4 powerbook with OS X. Many thanks.
I highly doubt that you have a virus on entourage. It's more likely that someone is sending email from their account, with your return address, effectively spoofing. Then you recieve the bounced emails that you never sent. I cannot find any reports of a Entourage virus on OS X.

It is almost guarantee that you do not have a virus. The fact is that you can send emails that look like they come from anyone you want, it's great fun. SMTP and POP have no authentication of senders, there are protocols that do but their use is not widespread. If the message is actually coming from your computer then you probably should delete the application data of the app that is sending it.
