Virus on my computer / Outlook - please help me get my HiJack This! log sorte

LondonDiva

I started to receive email not delivered messages a couple of days ago to emails I hadn't sent. I checked my sent items and no copies of the emails were there. The emails are going to people not just in my contacts but also in 'remembered addresses' that come up because you sent an email a year or so ago.

I normally have Eset running on my computer and it found nothing and neither did Malware Bytes so I changed my password and hoped for the best. Opened again this morning to find that I was still sending the emails. Updated Malware Bytes and deleted a 'Pup'(?) file that had been somehow downladed and have run Eset again - nothing found.

I've just installed and run: Avast, CCleaner & AdAware to try and cross check, but nothing found. I'm worried because I downloaded HiJack This! and when tryiing to run it it's telling me it can't have write access to the Host file (I have no idea what it means) and I've also downloaded theMicrosoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool – nothing found on quick or full scan.

Help! I just want to make sure whatever it is is now gone - I'm accessing emails from my phone but have some files I want to send for work.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read:)

Edit: I was able to save after a scan once I rebooted. Still having the Host message coming up.

But :-
1. can you send emails? (on your computer using Outlook)
2. have people reported that you've been sending junk emails
3. do you have a btinternet email address
The "not delivered messages" are probably spam.

EDIT: I didn't see anything obviously bad in your Hijack log but you seem to have many anti-virus programs running IE
ESET Smart Security\egui.exe
Microsoft Security Client\msseces.exe
AVAST Software\Avast\AvastUI.exe
and McAfee Security Scan (but that looks like a manual scanner).
You may want to prune some of these.

I normally only run Eset with a weekly Malware Bytes scan. The others were all installed yesterday to cross check.

I'm happy that you think the bounceback messages are just spam, but they were addressed to emails I'd sent to people not saved in my contacts.

1. can you send emails? (on your computer using Outlook) - Yes
2. have people reported that you've been sending junk emails - no yet, but lots of people have been sending me emails saying they have been hijacked by spambots
3. do you have a btinternet email address - no
The "not delivered messages" are probably spam.
