My cursor, about every ten seconds has the hour glass pop
up and disappear. This happened once before until I
reformatted my hard drive, then it stopped. Recently, I
recieved about 10 E-mails all in the same day(on the 7th)
and they all appeared to come from microsoft, some had
attachments, some did not. I opened three of them. the
first two said"unable to deliver message to" then had an
unknown Email address listed. The third one said "this
message was deleted because it contained malicious code"
at that point I stopped and deleted the rest. Now this
Hour glass thing keeps happening. Can someone tell me
what to do about this. I ran this Spyhunter software and
it said there were two HKEY_CLASSES_ files that were of a
severe nature, however, I didn't buy the software because
I dont even know if it is related or what.
 
A common method of delivering viruses is to fake the
address so it appears to have come from Microsoft. Get a
good anti-virus program and use it.

Sending viruses and other crap as if the message came from
Microsoft is a common trick. If you don't have all the
updates from Microsoft, a firewall, and a good anti-virus
program that you update and use regularly you will NEVER
have a safe and secure system. Curiosity kills more than
cats.
