[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1028888"] ClamAV X might identify an example of the offending email in your outbox, but it's not going to solve the problem. The reason is because this isn't happening on your Mac, its happening to your web-based email account. Uninstall Norton Antivirus as fast as you possibly can. It should NEVER be installed on a Macintosh and does more harm than good. How Symantec has stayed out of court for such a horrific virus-like product I simply do not know. Make sure you uninstall Norton *thoroughly* (using their uninstall method). So, the score still stands: Macs don't have viruses -- but web-based email accounts can get hacked (just like on PCs).
