    Yes, you heard right, I didn't even know that was possible.

    I was playing on pokerroom.com and Norton Anti Virus 2005 said there was an intrusion alert but they blocked it.

    So I was like, hmm that would be a trojan or something? So I logged off pokerroom, scanned with Ad-aware, scanned with Norton, nothing.

    So the next day I go to log into my epassporte.com account to add more funds (yea I know I suck and lose alot of money) and my password was incorrect. So I was like getting scared thinking I just became the victim of credit card fraud on the internet, that thing you always hear about but think will never happen to you. Well I checked and no transactions had been made, maybe they didn't know my Security Code thats on the back of the Credit Card.

    So I downloaded Zone Alarm because I was getting paranoid and sure enough I'm depositing money and all the sudden an alert from ZA comes up saying Windows Messanger is attempting to monitor mouse movements and keystrokes. I was like, hmm thats definately not normal. I denyed it, even though I uncheck windowsmessanger it still loads on restart (from msconfig). So then I went in ZA and blocked all instinces of Windows Messanger from accessing the internet.

    Do you think I have a trojan that isn't being picked up?

    Do you think I'm safe right now?

    Can you help me?

    I would follow the steps in this thread.

    Also, if you want MSN not to load when windows starts, open it, click tools, options...on the general tab...uncheck automatically run messenger when I log in to windows, and allow automatic sign in when connected to the internet.
