Scenario: 3 computers on one router, WLAN and Cable. ISP threatens to suspend all service because "my account" is sending SPAM out, --not -- using my Outlook Express address book.
How can I find out which of the 3 machines does it? (other than just turning one-by-one off for good....)

You have been hacked. Start in safe mode and delete any hacker tools and run some anti-virus and install a good firewall and then get any security updates you may be missing.

U havw very little alternative. While u may have difficulty finding our , u can confirm that u have been affected by spyware and virus. Honestly, do a complet reformat. Before you reformat, go to maxtor and download powermax.exe 4.09, this will help u zero all your files but the sad thing , u may lose all materials cos any back up done willbring back the spyware/virus. Only after zeroing your file , then reformat your hard disk and it will be good as new. If u still have any problem, send me a note and I will guide u

It's a arduous process. I suggest moving from Outlook to Thunderbird. www.mozilla.org

Well, all I know is how to stop it with email by having the name AAAAAA, AAAAAAA email address AAAAAA@AAAAAAA.AAA... stops it in it's tracts.
If one computer is doing the 'spamming', you need to get it professionally cleaned up before it spreads to the other computers... Quickly now!
