If yes, then most likely that your machine is under hack. It might be getting used to send spam mails by hacker or some network trojan or malware replicating and sending out its multiple versions.
B]
The next thing to watch out for is the activity of your Hard disk. If you notice increased Hard Disk activity or suspicious-looking folders or files in your root directories, time to do something about your personal documents. Enhanced disk activity happens when hackers intrude the system and run large scans of your machine to hunt down files or documents containing email user information, banking information for PayPal etc.
C]
The next of PC Tips is easy. If your domestic antivirus software reports that trojans or worms have been detected even when you’ve have not downloading anything recently or been on the Web in a while.
