Title: Unwanted attachment generated to emails
Post by: Tom Kelley on May 01, 2007, 11:38:40 AM

An unwanted attachment is generated to my emails automatically as soon as I click the SEND button. Even when I send an email to myself! It just started some time ago. What do I do wrong? How can I eliminate it?

I am using MS XP home, SP2, 1.7GHz CPU, 256 Mb Ram,Outlook Express. Avast virus protection and Spy Sweeper.
The computer has no virus or spam - I've checked for them.
Appreciate any help!!!
Tom
