Spyware Information: EvilBot
This application is a Internet chat exploit. It will use the IRC (Internet Relay Chat) protocol to invade people's online conversations, eavesdrop, or even try to break into their computers. Although you may not have anything to do with EvilBot, someone else might be storing it on your computer in order to use it without being traced. If a hacker breaks into your computer, he may often use it surreptitiously to store information or use tools like EvilBot -- he won't always simply destroy your computer.
