Win Pic&Fax Viewer Hijacked - Outlook Express Problem

In using WIN XP and opening a pic that was received in
Outlook Express, a number of banners/images will appear in
the Pic & Fax Viewer screen under the image that was
opened. These banners/images are seen when attempting to
print the "received image", or when hitting the blue
scroll arrows. These images/banners are usually just a
nuisance, but lately porn pics have been showing up. The
problem really, now, is that these banners/images are sent
to my recipient when I forward any image and the recipient
opens that image with Pic&Fax Viewer.

There can be anywhere from 5 to 50 attachments at any
time. They are never the same attachments, always
different.

I've searched thru a lot of support websites, and have
only found one other question about this. Unfortunately,
there was no answer!
 
First I would use disk clean up to delete your temporary files and temporary
internet files.
Click on Start>All Programs>Accessories>System tools>Disk Cleanup.
If this does not solve the problem you will have to dig a little.
If these are files downloaded from the internet or e-
mail, they may be in a subfolder of your Internet temporary files. The
folder
name will start with OLK and there will be a number after OLK. The easiest
way to find it is to search for OLK* and once found open it and see if the
files are there.
Click on Start and Search and then
All files and folders
More advanced options
Search system folders
Search hidden files and folders
Search subfolders
In the top textbox "All or part..." type in
OLK*
and click search
This search will take a while but should return all
folders starting with
OLK.
Open the folders, change the view to Thumbnails and see
if the unwanted
files are there. If so just select them and delete. They
will go to your Recycle bin, delete them from there also. Or hold the Shift
key down when you delete them in order to prevent them from going into your
Recycle bin.
