Since yesterday every time I switch on my computer I get a black window stating this much: -------------------------------------------- Debugging console enabled. Bot started and connect to 1.xdgz.com -------------------------------------------- I've not been able to get rid this. I've tried going to the address "1.xdgz.com" only to get the message "he he". Is this a virus?, and how do I get rid of it. I've got Norton Antivirus but that did not help. Thanks for any advice.
