Title: Phinneas Phucker Trojan Horse
Post by: Lona on May 09, 2004, 14:14

Every time I open Outlook Express I get an alert from my firewall  and the cuprit is always Phinneas Phucker Trojan Horse. I don't get it with normal surfing only when accessing email.

The only thing I can suggest is to run Ad Aware, Spybot and whatever trojan scanner you have on board, Lona.  Might be best to run them in safe Mode with System Restore switched off.

Then switch to Mozilla Mail.   ;)
