1) I’ve recently had a significant increase in the amount of spam getting
through both the ATT and the MS Outlook spam filters. It frequently carries
a subject line that I have used recently myself or the “from” name or the
subject are reminiscent of a person’s name or a topic that I have recently
discussed in an e-mail.
2) Within the past 48 hours, shortcuts to IE and OL have not responded until
I try them a second time.
3) Just now, when I tried to open IE, I got a dialogue box informing me that
“the operation can not be completed because yada-yada are missing.” A bit
later it worked fine.

I have just reverified the following:
MS AntiSpyware is active.
Norton Autoprotect is active.
My virus definitions are dated 1/25/06.

I have just visited MS Security Help, but didn’t find anything applicable.

Yes, I clear my cache regularly. Every 24 hours or so.

What else should I be checking?

Thanks much!

Thanks to everyone!

I was infected with Win32:kuang2.

It was discovered and eradicated by something called Avast!
