Mass Email Program Was Installed and I can't Find it.

Someone ran an exe file from a zip file that was emailed to them and then the emails starting going out. I have tried a few syware programs and symantec and none of them report the offending program. Excuse me in advance for being a Newbie here, Thanks.

If you wish me to continue with the steps to assist you in any way I will be more than happy to do so. I won't be able to do the next step untill Monday ET some time.

Thanks you for your help
Glad we could be of assistance.
