Few days ago, my friend mailed me. I noticed that the last message, coming again and again. The content of message is something like that:
same message + line break + right after line break attached spam message
He said that not only I receiving this messages. Everyone receiving content that I explained above.
His OS: Win 7 X64
E-mail client: Outlook 2007
Then I decided that, may be it is windows virus or something like that, which uses outlook to send message. Connected to his desktop remotely, uninstalled old antivirus and installed Norton 360. Then updated database signatures. It found some tracking cookies , but nothing else.
The messages are still coming with random delay. I have no idea how to stop them. One thing that I didn't try yet is: to uninstall office 2007 and install office 2010. Will try today. Any suggestions?

2Check the email headers and see where they are coming from. Also check the timestamps to see if it's actually being sent over and over, or just re-delivered over and over. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2012-01-05T13:41:52.070

Change the account information for the email account being used. Your friend IS infected with Malware. – Ramhound – 2012-01-05T14:10:42.843
@Ramhound then why norton can't catch this malware? – Tural Ali – 2012-01-05T14:18:12.153
@TuralTeyyuboglu - Norton isn't designed to find Malware, and any malware it can be found is often no longer used, this is the case for the major anti-virus vendors. You need software designed to detect malware ( which behave different then a virus ). Its also possible Norton is just not aware of the signature in question. – Ramhound – 2012-01-05T15:32:01.510
@Ramhound ok then I will install malware bytes and Norton side by side. – Tural Ali – 2012-01-05T15:45:14.817
