For about 6 weeks, I have received in my yahoo mail inbox, notices of undelivered email which I never sent, often with chinese characters. As far as I can tell, none of my contacts have received any of this from my address. I have run a "Hijackthis" scan, but need help interpreting the results. (below)

Sorry about the delay in responding :(

If you still need help, Scan again with HijackThis, and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
