Just a reminder..!
I've already mentioned this problem before, quite some time ago, but here's a reminder. If your PC seems sluggish, slow, crashes often, or Spam seems to be increased, it COULD be a rootkit.
Easy to check - use the FREE AVG Anti Root kit scan (Google it) it only takes a few minutes, and follow the instructions.
You can also go into "user Accounts" on start up (Control Panel > User Accounts) - this will tell you if there is someone out there using YOUR PC as a port. If you don't want to leave it on your PC - Delete it, and check regularly - they often automatically re-install themselves!
