ICQ Stealing

ICQ Stealing is AOL spyware that can cause many nasty problems for your PC. ICQ Stealing can seriously slow down your computer. If your computer takes longer than normal to restart or your Internet connection is extremely slow, your system may very well be infected with ICQ Stealing.

ICQ Stealing can also tamper with your Internet settings or redirect your default home page to unwanted websites, and ICQ Stealing may even add new shortcuts to your computer's desktop. Your system may also be bombarded by pesky popup ads, even when you're not connected to the Internet, all the while ICQ Stealing is secretly tracking your browsing habits and gathering personal information on you.

The most disturbing, however, is ICQ Stealing may gain complete control of your mailbox to generate and send emails with virus attachments, email hoaxes, spam, and other types of unsolicited email to other people, thus spreading its mayhem.
