Hotmail Virus - Vacation Reply?

lrennie86 · April 3rd, 2009, 07:04 PM

Sorry, I've replied to another thread here called HOTMAIL VIRUS thinking it was a recent post but it's actually a yr old!

I got a new laptop yesterday and set it up last night - connected to internet and downloaded AVG like i had on my old laptop

This morning I realised my hotmail account has sent a vacation reply to my contacts saying:

Dear friend:

I'm angry thinking iv got a virus on my brand new laptop!

Any help greatly appreciated, as I say it's a new laptop and didnt/doesnt appear to have any spyware or malware, or a firewall, though i've downloaded AVG anti virus now.
Thank you,
Laura

First off, hotmail is webmail based, so unless you have outlook or some other mail app setup to send outgoing mail through your account it would not be a virus on your machine.

Second, since hotmail is webmail based, its more likely that your account has been accessed by an outside source. Likely phishing, possibly a Trojan on your old system (maybe even the new one) or something similar. You need to turn off the vacation reply function from hotmail and change your passwords.

Third, you can use the tools from this thread to check your logs HijackThis Analyzer & Tutorial.

Thank u, so there should not be an actual virus on my computer? Im currently trying to get my new laptop protected, I have XP SP3, so Im not sure if that already includes a firewall, spyware, malware etc?

Laura

PS Yes I've changed passwords and removed vaction reply

It is possible, you are running AVG however so if you had a virus your scans should show it.

I'll download those now, it was zone alarm I had on old laptop. I have looked at other posts from people with the same problem, even some moderators here have said this particular problem/trojan is not being picked up by most anti-virus programmes...One person said it wrecked their whole hard drive

but he said he had no anti virus software....God I hope that doesnt happen to my brand new laptop
