Not on this computer but at work....
Running XP Pro on a new (less than 6 months old) Dell with Office Trends security. My Doom scans say not infected but office trends keeps picking up something called Troj-Winshow, but then offers no description of virus....and shows "clean failed."
System admin has been sending me notifications of e-mails I did not generate being sent ...to me!And they are showing up in my junk mail!
What is this and how do I get rid of it?...I tried one of the free anti trojan programs but it has not affected this particular virus.
