This isn't BOINC related, but I need programmers or someone equivalent to it. Ok, I think I have a spyware, planted by somebody on my laptop, because I've been getting messages about some things i IM people to. and it's really creeping me out. Well, I think I found the culprit for keylogging my keys and taking screenshots of my PC and sending them to... whoever wants them. (I got a mail with personal info from somebody... like a stalker, it's really creepy) He/She got my cell phone number, plus personal info that I share with friends. I deleted the application various times (I once caught the folder with a screenshot of my desktop...) but it kept coming back again...spy sweeper, ad-aware, or spybot would not detect it, as if it was homemade spyware. Well, I need somebody that can open up the thing and disect the damn spyware or w/e it is... I don't know forums that support this kind of request, so I came to SETI, cuz most of you guys know your computers (so do I, but not progrmamming). If your willing to do this, respond and I'll post a link to the .zip file that cotains two .exes (regsvc32.exe and snhost.exe) plus two txt (dummy.txt and syslog.txt) If you know a forum I can go to, then that would be great too. :) HELP! (i deleted windows, and installed ubuntu after receiving the mail. but... i would still like to dissect the app and find some IP address or something :/)

Go to Trendmicro.com and let it scan your system. I have been using it, since I got a bug at work in 2001 and nether Norton or what other program they used at the time caught it. The price is right, FREE, you can't loose. Pluto will always be a planet to me.  Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt ID: 724863 · |

You might try that site anyway, may it find more bugs. BTW they work with the FBI etc to help this kind of invasion. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt ID: 724874 · |

no.. it didn't find anything >.< idk why. it was clearly a spyware, it took pics of my desktop... it keylogged, and whenever i deleted it, it came back.
