I have a computer here at work seems its infected by some sort of mail bot mailing out adverts to Viagra i noticed this when it mail itself a copy to our mailbox.

I have tried just about every major av and anti-spyware out there 30 in all and nothing can be found?.

anyone know of any specialized software to do this?.

I tried looking for hidden processes using a few apps but i don't see anything hiding ie. prob a new rootkit+worm.

I have tried all of those i can see traffic from that machine with no apps running the network is always busy sending out emails even though no mail program is open.

Need something to watch and close ports...
