Symantec E-Mail Proxy & Hacktool.Proxy!

[DuffBuffVick]

Hello, I'm new to Daniweb. I am more of a web designer, so am not so good with 'technical' computer language. Anyhow, I've been having loads of problems.

Quite some time ago, I had the 'Symantec Email Proxy' problem where 'Scanning Message One of One' kept on popping up, and it kept on sending random e-mails to unknown IPs and what not. So I did a 'SYSTEM RESTORE' to a few days back, and then it started working normally.

Now, again, this problem has occured. I did the 'System Restore' again, and it worked. But then, after one day, the problem occured again! This time, the System Restore didn't work.

Another problem is, on the startup of my computer [only when the internet is connected] I get a Norton Antivirus High Risk Alert, of a virus called 'Hacktool.Proxy'. Does this have anything to do with the Email proxies? I don't know.

Anyhow, I downloaded HiJackThis, and here is my log report:

I have a lot of data on my computer, that I can't afford to lose. I heard that this can be fixed, and DaniWeb is the most helpful place. Thus, PLEASE help me! I really need to get this fixed as soon as possible without losing any kind of data, if its possible.

Thanks for the reply! I did a SYSTEM RESTORE again, and now it seems to be working. Though I'll still go on with what you said...:)
