Default Help Needed { What is this ? }

I have this on my sons computer and am not sure what it is. I have run numerous virus scans and it is still there...

It's not a virus in the message or computer, it's a feature of your virus scan - I have the same one (McAffee)

Many virus hijack your mail and flood out a ton of messages with the same subject.
If you intenionally send a message with a similar subject the virus program will halt it and ask if you're intending to send the messages. Mine does it when I'm having a lot of send/reply to the same email in a short amount of time.

So - it's supposed to do that. Mine will also go off when I send a single message to more than 10 people. You can change the settings to fit what you want. I leave it, just in case.

EDIT:

I guess I should say - if you MEANT to send that message, it's ok. But if nobody is trying to send those messages you have a virus (not real likely since the virus scan will catch it if it's up to date) or you have some adware sending messages. If you don't already have it, get Ad-aware and scan your system. There's also Spybot, but I like Ad-aware better. Both are free so it never hurts to have both.
