Suspected Spyware

Hi all,

Yesterday evening I started noticing that MSN Messenger, AIM and mIRC kept getting disconnected for a short while (~5 seconds) and then they reconnect. I have performed anti Virus and Spyware scans but they've come up blank. Also my internet connection is slow at times but I am able to download ~50k/ sec. My ISP is Tiscali and I am using the 2mb package. I am connecting via network cable to a router.

 

Please work thru our standard cleaning procedures below even if you have done them before. Make sure you check to see that you have the versions that are links indicate and make sure you have checked for detections/reference file updates. Please follow the steps below:

- Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

- Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis:
