unwanted remote access

Name: Anonymous 2006-07-17 1:39

sorry for my newbish ways...

anyway, I sometimes leave my computer idle, I sometimes(rarely) come back to find that my browsers(firefox) have been opened and directed to random(porn) sites(my firefox was not open before I left).  I know it without a doubt that my computer wasn't being used physically while I was idle because I set my windows to ask for my user password when I return from being idle for a certain time.  at the time, I was connected to the internet (cable), running utorrent, peerguardian 2, and Zonealarm firewall.  I'm assuming running torrents has something to do with this.  But I'm not quite sure. Any advice would be appreciated.

you prolly have spyware,adware, or a nice virus

op here:  I currently run Spywareblaster, ad-aware, spybot-search and destory, and Avast! antivirus.  Any programs I miss for spyware/virus protection?  If not, then it's probably a network security problem.

Check your startup files.  You should have that option in spybot.

Update Windows and check your ZA logs.
