It is also possible that whoever you were chatting with in messenger was running a new "cracker" program out there called YahMirror (or something like that)...anyway what it does is mirror everything that you type in the IM box...it's one of those "cracker" gags out there. If you want to get familiar with more of these "gags" that crackers are using to bomb peoples IM's and Accts with, I suggest you go to http://www.yahme.com/---just to get familiar. Maybe it would benefit you if you browsed the downloads they have and see if anything summaries of the progs. match up with your symptoms.Also, even if you dont give me the points, please pass this info on to whoever it may be helpful to.
Good Luck,

Greetings!
This is what happened to a client of mine about a year ago, just -2- days after buying a brand new computer.
I set up their Cable Internet for a local cable ISP.
Next day, apparently the step-son was chatting with someone using a popular chat client. he shut down after about a half-hour session, never suspecting a thing, since everything worked fine.
Next morning, someone needed the computer. Turned it on, and system said "No Command Interpreter found".
I got a phone call (as a PC troubleshooter), and upon arrival, checked the drive to see what had gone wrong.
No files.
System had been wiped clean.
ICQ was the client.
Needless to say, I have advised all of my clients that this software be either avoided or used very carefully.
Yes, you can be hacked - realtime!
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but hope it somehow helps!

Just last week, I spent a few hours getting a spoof copy of Mirc Chat removed from another client's system.
Did so based on finding no less than -4- different trojan viruses on the system, 1 of which wasn't even identified by symantec, McAfee, Trend, Sophos, Innoculan, AVG or any other major player in the AV field.
The list goes on ...

(NP - can't deny results in the field - this Q -is- using ZA (read Q's initial comments, NP), so ... your point?)

It's not unsual for Zonealarm to show numerous connection attempts while you are on the internet - at the moment the net is rife with viuses that are looking for vulnerable computers to connect to. Zonalarm will report these attempts but don't worry - you are protected. Be advised to check for Zonalarm updates regularly and also keep your anti-virus software up to date. Visit Windows update regularly and download any critical security updates. If you keep these 3 things in a regular routine, your computer will be 99.99999% safe from hackers, viruses etc.
