Defense against INVADERS!!

You're probably going to tell me this is off topic but, I suspect my system is
being invaded by other users using spying software etc.. I received a few
emails where something clearly downloaded but there's nothing there, or I
suddenly find a group of spam mail that's been sent from my account. I think
this goes beyond the normal virus checking software, and I need to know if
there's a software package out there I can use in my defense. Otherwise I'll
have to restore my system just to be sure it's wiped clean.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks,

How long before he's re-installed it, so he can post a new message here
explaining that "format /q c:" didn't work?

To answer your question, I assumed it was a joke, so I was waiting for a
serious reply. What does the' /q' option do?

If you want a serious reply, you should go to a newsgroup that has at
least something to do with your question.

It makes you quiet.

I can see you have big problems. You don't have to deal with it all by
yourself, there are people out there who can help you, professionals!
