i have 2 hotmail accounts-on 1 of them, when i try to put attachments on an email, i get an error saying the it cant be attached because there is a virus-on the other account, i can attach stuff and never get that error-this happens on both computers on our network-i ran norton and 2 online scan(mcafee and house call) and they showed nothing-i also ran adaware, spybot, and microsoft anti spyware and still am getting this error-any ideas y this is happening?

i ran the following and here r the results:

avg free: one trojan found and healed

trend micro house call: nothing found

microsoft anti spyware, spybot, adaware: microsoft and

spybot found stuff and removed it-adaware found nothing

mcafee stinger: nothing found

cwshredder: nothing found

i can run hijack this and post a log if u want

i deleted all the email from the hotmail account and its still trying to attach viruses-i dont get it because if it was a virus on my computer, wouldnt it do it on BOTH hotmail accounts? y just on only one hotmail account and on both computers on the network?

Are u trying to send a .exe,.reg or.vbs file?
If so, u need to zip it before attaching.
I dont know about hotmail bu most online free-email providers dont allow files with the aforementioned extension.

I think the malware infection might still be there.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.
