Getting a bit creeped out now.

I think it's more likely that as you tried to sign in last you'll get priority and sign them out.

Done.

Spyware/Virus scans haven't picked up anything. I dont know if someone is still watching all my chats or not though :/
 
Might be me, but

D:\Windows\system32\SearchFilterHost.exe

looks dodgy (although i've not used windows for a few years).

It's possible you have a keylogger on your machine that just captures the password when you change / enter it.

Try using another (confirmed clean) computer, changing your password on there and login using an alternative client (such as pidgin / miranda) on the other machine (to test) and if the messages stop then you can turn your attention to scrubbing your own PC.

The messages aren't that often, but it peeves me off.

Have ran everything I can for now, and changed password again. Hopefully that will be the end of it.
 
Does it not tell you where the other person is signed in from? When I sign in at two locations it tells me the PC name (only ever done it on a local network).

Nope, that's what confuses me. I too have done it on a local network though (PC and netbook).

Sigh.

Over the last few days, I've noticed that my live messenger has been messaging others, and saying some pretty crap things. Childish jokes such as "Did I tell you I'm gay" etc. For the record, I have no homosexual desires whatsoever.

So, I changed my live password a few nights ago, but it just happened again. Someone has contacted one of my friends and it has popped up on my PC. I'm 100% sure I don't have a multiple personality disorder, so it can't be me.

Anyway it is really creeping me out. I changed my password, set MSN to not remember it, and someone still manages to get on. My guess is they may have used an earlier password and just stayed logged in. However, I was under the impression that if someone else was logged into your account you can "Sign out from..." just like I do with my netbook and PC.

A niggling suspicion tells me it could be my brother, but I really don't know. As soon as he and his laptop are seperate, I'm going to investigate. If he has, I'm going wild. Delete/block all MSN contacts, hijack his facebook, anything. I'm just freaked out that someone has been reading my every MSN conversation for god knows how long :/

What can I do? :(

Guys, how do we know this is the real apeZ and not the virus talking?

I put your logs into http://www.hijackthis.de and it said that everything looks OK but you don't appear to be running any AV or firewall, which you should be running if that's lieing :P Using the firewall you should be able to block connections to your machine, disable RDP/Remote Assistance and Remote Administration features. It could be that another machine on your network is connected to your PC via something like Push VNC to take control of certain actions

I recommend password protecting your Windows user account and locking the machine when you're not using it (Windows - L key shortcut) to avoid another family member using it while you're not there.

It does it over the internet too, you WILL be able to tell by that if someone else is logged in on your account too, unless there is some kind of backdoor that hides this info, in which case the backdoor/virus is probably doing other stuff as well.

In other words it all points to either a virus in MSN (not uncommon) or a keylogger.

Have you tried uninstalling MSN and reinstalling afresh? I don't know if that will remove an MSN virus?
