I've managed to pick up an email virus that is sending out emails under my name. They contain this link http://www.obt3.xmedx.com. I had downloaded a program whose site and program were approved by McAfee SiteAdvisor. After discovering the problem I went in and uninstalled the program but it's still sending the bogus emails. I ran SpyDoctor, Malwarebytes, and McAfee but am still receiving these emails. I just bought a new desktop with Windows7 so I'm still not familiar with everything. I went into 'internet options' to put this address on the block list but didn't find the 'block' dialog box and didn't take the time to mess with it since my time is limited in the evening. I haven't tried 'system restore' yet. I don't know what else to do because I'm not really certain where this came from.
