    I've been noticing strange announcements from AVG for email scans when I don't have my email client up. Have I been taken over? My AVG scans haven't shown anything coming up as a virus, but I'm becoming highly suspicious.

    Here's part of the log:

    13.9.2007 16:16:09 AutoPOP3(10110): Connected to mail.vsnl.net:110

    HOWEVER, I am a server for the TOR network. Would people getting email through my system trigger a response from AVG?

    Thanks!

    Stop Tor and see if it still happens?
