So I turned on my computer today, and turns out my comp has some kind of virus/trojan. My symantec email will not stop sending out spam emails. the symantec email scanner will not stop running and at the top of the error messages that pop up constantly, "Symantec Email Proxy"....anyone know how to deal with this?
Thanks

OK. 7 Restart your computer. If your computer starts without the "Symantec Email Proxy" message, then change the settings in the firewall program so that the program allows the following file to connect to the Internet: ccemlpxy.exe 8 Reenable the firewall.
What if this didn't work?
