For the past several days we have been randomly harrased by outlook express. At first i thought nothing of it popping up, I figured maybe someone started using the program on the computer, so i ignored it and asked about it later, Well it turned out noone used the program and since then it has gotten worse. It randomly pops up, usually when Im typing, generally if i make a major istake typing and hit the backspace button. Occasionally it pops up with no keys being hit.
I am using HP windows XP. Ive run my malware, spyware, and antivirus as well as tried to find the file to delete and so far have run into dead ends all together, when i search for it under programs its not there, but it shows up during a regular search but wont let me delete it...
this is the result of my malware scan and fix
