    I believe I have a worm on my machine that constantly attempts to send email messages without my permission. I never open Outlook on my machine but somehow these weird emails are generated to be sent to various email addresses. McAfee scans most of the messages and tries to delete them, but the email messages are still generated. After more than 30 messages in 5 minutes, McAfee generates a warning of "potential worm activity."

    I've scanned my computer with the McAfee software and spy sweeper still nothing.

    Thank you....

    Do scan in the Safe Mode of the computer.... Instead of McAfee, I would like to suggest u using a free AV named Avast or AVG. Both of them are free for home users and good. Mostly people prefers Avast out of them... SO yea, go ahead with it and see if that cures ur problem....
