Over the last couple weeks my Outlook program has been automatically sending what I think are mass emails to addresses with a .ru suffix. I only know this because I periodically (about 2x a week) get failure notices where an email address was undeliverable. I usually get about a dozen failed deliveries when this happens.

There is nothing in my Sent folder indicating anything is sent so I suspect I’ve been hijacked or had a worm install itself.

Anybody have any recent experience with this scenario?

I’m running XP Home SP2, Outlook 2000 SP-3 (9.0.0.8954), and if it’s relevant IE 7.0.5730.11

I can post the headers from some of the failed deliveries if that would help.

Can anyone tell me what I should do to get rid of this problem?

Thanks
