While talking to a friend of mine on ICQ, an odd event occurred that has
him concerned that his computer may have been invaded (i.e. Backorifice,
Netbus, or similar program). What happened is this: While typing a
message to send, extra sentences appeared at the bottom of what he was
typing saying something to the effect that 'someone would be trying to get
into his computer using Netbus, and that this was a friend trying to warn
him'. This actually appeared as he was typing the message. At the same
time there was other activity (empty ICQ boxes popping up, etc.) My friend
exited ICQ and then restarted it.
Any explanations..?? Are there any good programs that will detect an
invasion...?? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance..
