then your email is in some sort of list.
the thing itself isn't infected.
In other words, some horrific soul got your email adress and entered you in all the "click here for a free PSP" ads...

Is your computer running slow at all? Is your internet laggy?

Long ago I learnt never click on ads on the net and always to not trust anti virus software that much.

That is why I stopped using AVG years ago, but I still swear by Antivir. IT is a great anti virus program and it is free.

Wew! That was it. The online scan told me that there are no viruses on my computer.

However, this means that my email (ojala36@hotmail.com) is infested. What should i do?
Get a new hotmail account. It's free. You shouldn't use hotmail for general e-mail. Get something better like GMail. Probably anyone here would be glad to invite you. But get a new hotmail account for the sake of Messenger. You won't get that annoying "You have 87 new messages" at least. Is hotmail still free?

Maybe they're using your pc for sending spam as a zombie, maybe you've got a trojan or something that your AV can't find...
And send me a PM if you want gmail...
