iChat is haunting me

So for a long time, I've been using Adium as my AIM chat client, and my dad recently added leopard to our G5 iMac. Everything worked fine for a while (besides GIMP, but that's fine with me), until mysteriously, when I would get a message from somebody new (did not have an adium window already open), iChat would open itself and hijack the message into it's window. I would close the window, then the following messages would come through on adium just fine. I just became fed up with it, and trashed iChat completely, the App is deleted, but now I am mysteriously getting pop up messages instead, as seen here, keep in mind, this is after I killed iChat.

Anybody have similar problems or ideas on how to fix this? Thanks a lot anybody who tries.

That's weird stuff there -- I advise you post that on Apple's ichat support page.

Could be a Trojan -- I was attacked by a new unnamed Trojan which crashes your Mac and still have the file ...
