I have been informed by BTYahoo (unless it is a false alarm) that I may have
a trojaned proxy server so that my account is sending out unsolicited
commercial emails.
Any suggestions as to how I might remedy this? AGV 8 Free has not detected
anything, nor has SuperAntispyware Pro

I strongly advise against this. If your machine is being used as a proxy
server, you are responsible for anything it sends. Not to mention that
'net performance will suffer. Etc. So take your machine to a tech who
can clean it up for you, and in future make sure you maintain it
properly. You maintain your car, right? Your computer is as valuable a
resource as your car. More, IMO - much of the dat on it is priceless.

I reckon I spend about an hour a day just on maintaining my computer, far
more time than I spend on my car. I also spend a good deal of my time
maintaining other peoples' computers. I don't blame you for not knowing my
circumstances, but do not think for one moment that I don't take this
seriously. However, the procedure that David recommends is too complicated
for me, so I am hoping that some other soluton can be found.
