Why do I keep getting random instant messages from people i don't know?

Question

I keep on getting a random instant message from a person who i don't know but they say they didn't send it. This other person says i sent them a message such as "Are you going to die?" and i tell them i didn't send that, but that they sent me the same question. They told me that they never sent me anything. This same thing happened last night and i'm confused. Could this be a virus or a hacker instant messaging me? I have an iMac and use iChat.

dont worry. . . its just a spyware or just probably a bot program that is hijacking you. . .just change your IP address so you cant be traced and delete tracking cookies, defrag and it will be ok. . . i used to have that. . . .
