Is it possible to have a bot planted on your computer?

I got a message yesterday from a digital entertainment forum I'm a member of. They think I'm trying to hack into the site because I (my browser) was refreshing at a rate they were pissed off about.

Any software to check for this?

avg anti-virus is a free anti-virus program that auto-updates and isn't a scam.

Yeah, quite possible. Get spybot search & destroy to hopefully remove it, then get peerblock so it won't happen again.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Why did this thread get moved from Players Talk? There are tons of threads there that don't fit the criteria of the new rules of Players Talk.

Ran it, detected something that has to be removed manually. Gonna get someone more computer tekky than myself to take a look at it.

Thanks again...
