System had fakealert.ega;(Inactive)

[p51302]

This system was/is infected with fakealert.ega. Utilized malwarebyte's ani-malware and it seemed to clean it. But, subsequent scans seem to find other trojans. I just don't know how to determine if my system is trully clean.

When sending emails via Outlook Express, an outbound email would be multiply sent out.

Thanks for your help in advance.

If you don't understand something, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
Please do not run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you
Failure to reply within 5 days will result in the topic being closed.
Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
