Does this look like some kind of Email Virus?

Does this look like some kind of Email Virus?

Once or twice i've noticed AVG scanning this email address/server

Virus?
Virus?


I've run the AVG Virus scan and AVG anti-spyware but it turns up nothing... neither does a web search.

Any idea if its likely to be harmful and needs removing... ?

P.S it only seem to happen when AZUREUS is running

Check your email program and then your email provider.
Avg is showing a program connection to an email server to see if there are any emails to download.
I suspect it is your own email software.
If it is AZUREUS then maybe it is reporting your torrent activity, in which case I would say get rid of it and download bitlord instead!

Forgot to mention i've looked under all the account settings and options in Outlook Express and it doesn't appear under any of them.

Think i'll finish off what i'm downloading and then try another program, see if it goes away!

I just did some digging on google and AZUREUS is open source and depending where you download it from may be open to spyware additions!
Basically your version is sending your details out to whoever!
