Well, maybe this is a stupid question.
But i connected on some WebSites chat, and i got this message
Spybot sets V-Mr.Pug
Is that a Internet virus or something ?

No, it is just a bot that is giving you voice on that chat.
For more information have a look at how IRC is working.

Okay, I searched a bit, some told me it's a Spybot S&D that will destroy you PC....
While others say It's a antivirus.
So anyway thanks.

Have a look at the user names in that chat channel.
You very likely will see one of them is called Spybot.
