A strange thing happened yesterday. I noticed on Netmeter that there was a lot of traffic leaving my computer. I was not sending anything, so I became a bit worried. I did a couple of anti-virus and trojan scans using AVG, Malwarebytes and even MS essentials, but found nothing. It happened on a couple of occasions.
Internet sites and forums suggested I triy Tcpview and Wireshark to check their destination and content, but I don't know much about them.
I rebooted my computer and it started again. I switched my computer off. Later that night I checked my email using Mailwasher and started receiving hundreds of emails a couple of ks in size from my system admin as failed to deliver emails. There were over 3900 of them! I eventually managed to delete all of them and empty Mailwasher's recycle bin and have not had any trouble since. Though I am watching things pretty closely.
Has anybody else experienced this or has an idea of what it is?
