More than two weeks ago everyone in my Hotmail contact list received an email with a subject line containing the word "Hi". The content of the note is as follows:
Hey,
My dear friend, What's up?
I find a site to sell electronic products in very nice price. Laptop , Cellphone even Motorcycle are very popular. Their products are original quality with very low price as wholesale business supplier. They also can do retail business for end user now. Maybe it is suit for your business .

I did not send the notes. I ran a full scan. Three Trojans were detected - two were quarantined and one was "unable to be removed". I contacted McAfee and was told to run two free scanners - Anti-Malware and SUPERAnti-SpyWare. I did so but they detected adware, no Trojans. I run weekly McAfee scans which find nothing. Security Center tells me I'm 100% protected. Yet, at least once each week, a dozen or more of my Hotmail contacts receives a Hi message. A Trojan is on my hard drive and McAfee cannot detect it. HELP!!!
