I have a problem when chatting :S by aurelio on 12-19-2004 at 04:32 PM

Hello, I think this is a little off topic, but I don' know where to ask for help :S....The problem is when I'm chatting with someone, I think I have an spyware bot installed, it sends auto messages to my contact, every like 20-25 minutes, it's a real pain!! :@ I've tried deleting it using Ad-aware, Spybot but it keeps on doing this, have anyone ever had a problem like this?? :S Any help would be greatly apreciated ^_^!!

Go to xoftspy.com (http://www.xoftspy.com this is a link click here for all who are too lazy to copy and paste or type) Newayz Go there and download xoftspy 4.02 (I have it) Then update all definitions and then goto "scan settings" and click the link saying "click here to select folders" Then select all folders of hard disc and click start to start a scan of entire hard disc. This will find all spyware (even hidden in installation file etc).
This Works  (i've tried it) If any problems post here.

aurelio, could you please describe these messages ?
It's not necessary to be a virus..but we need a bit more detail :)

uhm well, I can't remove the SPyware cuz I have to buy the program :S isn't there another removal tool that's free??

hey AndreY, well the messages are like 9 o 10 predefined messages like : " XXX sex teens www.awebpage.com " or " hey check out this website www.awebpage.com " and so on, people think I'm the one who writes this Y_Y

well..to be sure it's not a virus, check your system again with ad-aware and also download an anti-virus program such as the free AntiVir - Personal Edition which actally checks for viruses as ad-aware and spybot s&d mainly check for spy- and adware.
If the problem still exists after you run a check with AntiVir, please let us know :)

Ok now, I think the problem is gone, using Xoftspy I think ^_^ If anything comes up I'll post again here, anyways I'm going to try the Antivir , just to check for some more spyware and related stuff in my PC, thnx everyone for the help!!
