Spyware or Virus?

Listen up.... (Webmaster, www.BlueCollarPC.Net) you may be the victim of a newly released malicious installation that is called ransomware. There have been handfuls of these since the WMFmetafile exploit in IE (Internet Explorer) called SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, SpywareQuake and others. They are fake bogus antispyware programs that hijack your pc and tell you to pay $30 to buy the spyware removal program. For more check out this well known site:

The mass emails can be from a worm or backdoor spyware program that have their own SMTP mailer program. This is outgoing only emails (See POP Mail incoming/outgoing). The amount you show would be a worm. Some trojans also have smtp mailers in them. You may be infected with several malicious items. There is what is called a botnet that may have attempted to seize your computer to make it part of a zombie network that currently are running ovwer 100,000,000 computers worldwide and responsible for over 60 % of world spam - see Trend Micro reports/news.
