Tonight AVG pop-up's suddenly started popping up saying
POP 3 E-mail scanner can't connect to starlink.harris.com
POP 3 E-mail scanner can't connect to tarantella1.harris.com
POP 3 E-mail scanner can't connect to sec-test1.harris.com
POP 3 E-mail scanner can't connect to search.harris.com
POP 3 E-mail scanner can't connect to digital-agileplm.harris.com

They were popping up so fast I couldn't believe it.
My E-mail program was closed so I don't know why it was doing this.

I traced Harris to Orlando, Florida and checked to see where AVG is from
and they're from Europe.

Harris Corporation
1025 West Nasa Blvd, Mailstop 71
Melbourne, FL 32919
US
*************
GRISOFT, s.r.o
Lidicka 31
Brno 602 00

I included part of the AVG log file, Can someone help me figure out
what caused it to do this?

Is there a virus hiding in my computer somewhere?

If you don't correspond with folks @harris.com normally (i.e. be
sending them legit mail, work for them, or have other reasons to be
connected to them), AVG seems to be telling you that you're owned.
:-\

This behavior would be consistent with a mass mailing worm infection
or other malware on your system that AVG failed to prevent, but did at
least give you warning of.

I'd be unplugging that box from the net pretty quickly, and would give
that multi_av program a try to run independent scanners against your
machine, pondering data backup and reinstallation of windows, and
such.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Best Regards,
