Hi I was wondering if anyone there can suggest any type of freeware that can detect if someone is "spying" into my PC with programs that are running silently or not so silently in the background from unathorized users from outside my network? Ie Pandora type stuff or others that allow users access.

System is running fine but I would like some piece of mind if possible

Thanks!

I strongly recommend that you follow CastleCops' Malware Removal and Prevention procedure, a system CastleCops devised to enable users to either partially, or fully clean their systems without the direct aid of an expert.

Please read these instructions carefully. You will find the Malware Removal and Prevention Procedure here:

If that doesn't fix the problem, then go to this Forum, read the instructions at the top of the page carefully:

Follow these instructions:

and one of CC's trained 1st Responders or Security Experts will help you.

Note to everyone: You must be a CastleCops member to post for help in the HJT forum.

There isn't a problem at all. I am just wondering if there is anything that can detect something running in the backround silently.

System is running fine with no problems at a good speed.

Just a curiousity question for me. No need to root out any spyware as of right now.

Thanks!!

If something is there, following the recommended procedure will almost always discover that it is there. If not, then you will have reassured yourself.
