more computer help....

I have something in my computer that is rerouting my emails into another account. For a while I wasn't getting any email, I found out that it was taking all my email to this bogus account then dumping it. Now from time to time I get a message saying "failure to deliver to" this bogus YAHOO account saying its copacity is full, or no longer available.
I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH THAT NAME. It is a variation of an old accout, with the addition of like 4 or 5 numbers.
I sent an email to my dad, no I saw that same message in his inbox, so apperently it's checkiong his email also.
My question for you guys is, how can I find this "program?" that is doing this and stop it.
I called my ISP, they seemed mistified, saying that was probably just my Yahoo account, but it isn't...
I NEED HELP, THIS SUCKS.
thanks again guys...
PS I have run, AD-AWARE, BAZOOKA, and some spybot killer thing.

Are you using a mail client like Outlook or Eudora? If not, the problem may be on Yahoo's server. Your account may have been hacked there. I know I get those failure delivery things alot lately, mosty have a virus payload. I just delete them. Try setting up a new account and see if it stays okay. If all else fails, you have 3 options. 1: Take it to a professional to check out. 2. Format and re-install. 3. Shoot the dang thing.
