It seems my computer contracted a nasty virus. I saw that avast! was scanning a lot of emails although i was sending none. I took a look at what it was scanning and found that the titles of the emails it was scanning were all like the spam you get into hotmail - These were 'outgoing' emails.
I decided to reinstall xp and the problem has gone.
Anyone seen this kind of virus? This is the first time i have had a virus in all the years i have been on the net, makes me think twice about having Avast! and Zone alarm as the only guards against this type of thing.
