Hello,

I think somebody computer Hit by the this new Virus called "spoolvv.exe". Main objective of this virus is , if you are using Outlook express/outlook find your default email account and send SPAM from your account and Fill your email account with the thousands return emails. Last week my system infacted with this virus.

If you open you preocess window there you will see "spoolvv.exe" process.

Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
Browse to the key:
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run'
In the right pane, delete the value called 'spoolvv', if it exists.
Exit the registry editor.
Restart your computer.
Delete the following directory and its content:
%SystemDir%\spoolvv.exe
Note: %SystemDir% is a variable. By default, this is C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP).

Search your System32 files using Date option with current data and "File Created" option. If you see any file created on that day files is not associated with the "microsoft" delete that file.

I hope you this info will help you to remove such Virus from your system.
