It is a backdoor exploit actually.  Back Orifice would probably be the culprit.  Open up task manager and check your proccesses, delete suspicious ones.\n\nBack Orifice is a remote administration system which allows a user to control a computer across a tcpip connection using a simple console or GUI application. On a local LAN or across the internet, BO gives its user more control of the remote Windows machine than the person at the keyboard of the remote machine has. \n \n \nBO is small, and entirely self installing. Simply executing the server on any windows machine installs the server, moving the executable into the system where it will not interfere with other running applications. To ease distribution, BO can also be attached to any other windows executable which will run normally after installing the server.  \n \nOnce running, BO does not show up in the task list or close-program list, and is rerun every time the computer is started. The filename that it runs as is configurable before it is installed, and it's as easy to upgrade as uploading the new version and running it. \n\nThe Back Orifice Server Contains the Following Functionality \nSystem control \nCreate dialog boxes with the text of your choice. Log keystrokes. Lockup or reboot the machine.\n\nGet detailed system information, including:\n\ncurrent user \ncpu type \nwindows version \nmemory usage \nmounted disks\n(including hard drives, cdroms, removable drives and remote network drives) and information for those drives \nscreensaver password \npasswords cached by the user\n(including those for dialups, web and network access, and any other password cached by the operating system) \n \n \nFile system control\nCopy, rename, delete, view, and search files and directories. File compression and decompression.  \n \nProcess control\nList, kill, and spawn processes.  \n \nRegistry control\nList, create, delete and set keys and values in the registry.  \n \nNetwork control\nView all accessible network resources, all incoming and outgoing connections, list, create and delete network connections, list all exported resources and their passwords, create and delete exports.  \n \nMultimedia control\nPlay wav files, capture screen shots, and capture video or still frames from any video input device (like a Quickcam).  \n \nPacket redirection\nRedirect any incoming TCP or UDP port to any other address & port.  \n \nApplication redirection\nSpawn most console applications (such as command.com) on any TCP port, allowing control of applications via a telnet session.  \n \nHTTP server Upload and download files on any port using a www client such as Netscape. \n \nIntegrated packet sniffer\nMonitor network packets, logging any plaintext passwords that pass.  \n \nPlugin interface\nWrite your own plugins and execute the native code of your choice in BO's hidden system process.

There are probably more new virus out than we even hear about.\n\nThe fact is plain and simple NEVER OPEN AN EMAIL YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM.\n\nYou will never have a problem.

To avoid re-inventing the wheel myself i'm posting links instead of explaining evthing.\n\nYou can read about portscanning here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portscanning\n\nYou can read about trojan horse here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_%28computing%29\n\nI would suggest, don't worry about it and let the firewall do its job. Keep your firewall definitions updated. Block unwanted program access to the internet. And continue the good job of keeping your virus definitions updated. \n\nGood luk

He may have installed spyware on your computer that reports everything you're doing on it.  Did he ever ask you to open a file that he emailed to you?  That's all it takes.  To wipe your system clean of spyware, I suggest installing Adaware.  It's the best spyware removal software out there.  You can D/L at http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/\n\nIt's free by the way.

I think you've misunderstood the term "spyware". There isn't a single person (with a Yahoo! ID) spying on you, looking at all you do. It's simply software installed without your intent, which sends information about your surfing habits etc. to an unscrupulous company.

Someone almost downloaded a virus on my comp and i figured out who it was by looking at the time it was accessed (look at the history) but if you don't know who was on when look and see what else they did at that time like check their yahoo mail or other websites. Thats what i did.

It is almost certainly not due to your conversations being watched.  If an IM Content scanner is in use you would have absolutely no idea since it would be on a spam port off a switch somewhere in your network\n\nYour problem is most likely due to some network oc PC issue.

Batman, now u really gotta believe me, i have a trojan attack before, called SpyAxe, its really irritating, i cant remove it through the "Add/Remove" program on my computer. everytime i reboot, the SpyAxe comes back again. TRUST ME, DO NOT use another program, like the other answerers here said, to delete it. delete it manually, even if it takes a lot of time, like having to reboot to safemode n all that. yes it does work for some of these anti-spyware programs, BUT why am i stopping you, why? coz SpyAxe actually claims to be such an anti-spyware program, but it actually attached a trojan horse virus with it, that causes SpyAxe to appear each time we reboot our com. some pple couldnt stand it n decided to pay SpyAxe to remove the trojan. its all a scam from Spyaxe. to know more abt this spyaxe, u can search in Yahoo. i also found out how to remove the trojan manually through a search done in Yahoo, which brought me to a forum page(pls click on link below) where many others also caught this SpyAxe problem. the forum also states many other computer problems.\n\nin the 1st place, the reason i chose to delete this SPyAxe manually is becoz i needed to pay the other programs to delete the trojan. its really ridiculous rite? n u know what, wad i'm gonna say next is true, i read this from the forum page submitted by real pple.. this guy actually couldn't stand seeing the Spyaxe after rebooting his com everytime, so he download another anti-spyware program to get rid of the trojan, since he knows that SpyAxe is the one who actually attached the trojan with itself so pple who click on SpyAxe's advertisement n scan their PCs for free will get the trojan infection(whereby the scan results will show that u haf many viruses on your PC, which is not true). then they will ask u to download SpyAxe(there is a fee for using Spyaxe) to remove the trojan for you. then this guy, he downloaded other program, n PAID them, but it didnt work. he was so pissed off, he couldnt stand it, he actually decided to pay SpyAxe to remove e trojan for him!! n here comes the WORSE part... SpyAxe is not an anti-spyware prgm at all! e guy called the no. to look for SpyAxe management team, n the number actually was to a flower shop!! i didnt know whether to laugh or to cry when i saw this in the forum. tt's y i would really advise u to del e trojan manually urself, rather than download some other program to remove it. u will never know what u are downloading.\n\ni deleted it manually and it really did work, i didnt even need to spend a cent. even better, if your PC has a 'system recovery' program, u can juz restore it to an earlier time, a time before the trojan infected your PC. i know ACER computers have this program, n some other brands too. Mine is an ACER laptop, but too bad i didnt set a restore date so i couldn't use this program to help me. if your PC has this program too, do set a restore date where everything in your PC is working fine. you'll thank your lucky stars when you really need to use this program. \n\nBatman, REALLY< BELIEVE ME OK? i spent so much time typing this answer! good luck to you!! do check out the link, there are forums abt other PC problems, forums are best coz those are the pple who have the same problem n they have solved it using their ways, always finish reading every message in the forum, coz some might say this particular way works, but some say no. u haf to read through the whole thing to get the best solution.\n\nHope to hear from u how u removed the trojan, i noe how irritating it can be. do email me at yuni_chan88@yahoo.com.sg ok? thanks! =]

" Technically " NO- heck no- First off it's not like you hacked in - its an open site, second all you did was view a web page - now if you start to change your routines to coincide with his or you start going thourhg his garbage or something then you might have a problem. Besides, most talk is not " in passing" if he said it, it's because he wants people to visit  the site- -but do not confuse his wanting people to view the site with his wanting you in any deeper sort of way

run ad-aware, and a virus checker, Avast is very good for letting you know about malware and other types of virus as well, and avg grisoft... also look in your ad remove programs and see if there are any programs in there that you did not add  you can also look in your msconfig and see what is running in there if you need help with this contact me through messenger, click on my avatar and contact me.

I'm with Norton N on this one\ncheck to see if your Emails where received by the intended people to know for sure if the system has actually got these things out\nOutlook has played similar games with error messages on me in the past that were bogus---who knows what that's about ?? not me !!

what you can do is locate the files a delete them in safe mode, or you can reformat and reload. and never DL stuff and open it with out a virus scan first, also the chat room software lets people put virus on your computer. \n\ngood luck

Sure. You PROBABLY just unknowingly downloaded a TROJAN DOWNLOADER. Very common scam nowdays. All you have to do is go to the site. Don't even have to click anything there.\n\nIncidentally, did you ENTER a LOTTERY? If NOT, then WHY IN HELL would you GO LOOKING at such OBVIOUS CRAP???\n\nSorry. Truth hurts.

yes there is a way, im not really sure of it myself but i know the basics. \n\nwith your ip the person can port scan your system and find any open ports and attempt to mass send you a script ( you can also call it a worm)\n\nand with that script he can either setup ftp on your system where he can download or delete files or install other trojans to take over your system. the best thing for you to do is install a firewall some known good ones are: Norton Internet Security, Zone Alarm , Outpost Personal Firewall. just see what you can find. and with a firewall configured right, you should be alright.\n\nas far as your email, what makes you think the person hacked it? just incase i dont see this again, you can email me at: sarmenhb@yahoo.com and tell me about it, and i will be able to help you.\n\nOne more thing:\n----------------------\n\nRemember that one virus called MBlast?\nwell, it was a virus that did just that, it would automatically scan through a wide range of ip addresses from many ISP's and send out packets to them and automatically execute the worm viruses at an instant. I remember when i got it, i formated the computer and got happy that the virus was gone, and the second i connected to the internet, i was infected just like that witout opening any program or browsing through the internet. it was funny untill i figured out how to get rid of it.

Its a relatively new virus. It's been running around Yahoo Messenger for awhile. \n\nYou can kill the virus, but the damage is done. Unless you know how to repair your registry files, the best answer is to reinstall your Windows
