I keep finding mIrc and irc and rundll32 and now servu in a file in my registry. MIrc has been appearing recently, but as of today, servu has joined it. I keep deleting them, but apparently there's still the source that i cant find.

How are they getting in and how can i prevent them from coming back.

Using updated Sygate firewall, Mcafee virus scan, adaware 6, and spybot.

Jamie,

I know this for installing MIrc, but it may lead you to the files you need to remove it.

Look around the site for additional info.

MIrc

Checked out that site and it says that if mirc is loading on its own, it may be a trojan. Recommended d/l and running The Cleaner, which i did. Found no trojans.
