MrsG6 do you have any of those weird tables in your database?

Im asking this because my host responded that they are being used for the application that is hosted under the: www.fcbzone.com/chat/

Lol i searched for x7chat2 in google and it's a other chat script. I wonder how this come in my database. 

Well i guess it's save to just delete them now?

I looked, did not have that table in my db , but i see you have found out what it was though

best to ask at tufat.com

and also ask your host in case they know something

Found this post on tufat.com, from a person who was hacked with a previous version of Flashchat - http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.php?t=24955&highlight=flashchat+4.7.0

The email below came from the user's host.  The directory they mentioned below /chat/inc/cmses is what I saw in my server error log prior to my site being hacked.

Hello,

We have discovered that a large amount of emails have originated from your web server. As a result, we have disabled your web server's ability to send email.

We suspect that one of your scripts has been hijacked and is being abused to send out these mass emails. The script in question is located at:

/chat/inc/cmses << NOTE: FlashChat Directory

For security purposes, we have also disabled this folder.

If you ensure your scripts are secure and uptodate and will not send out this spam, we will reconsider and reactivate your sendmail function. However, if found again to be sending spam, we will have no choice but to suspend your account.

Regards,

Host's name

X7 chat is another that I tried before Flashchat. If you've got in in you Db, you must at least have tested it at some point.

i tried aimf chat also by tufat.com

its pretty cool and supposed to be less server intensive

but i uninstalled it - cos it didnt have some of the cool features like in FS

Maybe i did test that script some time ago. I only can't remember when or how and that happens to me more and more lately lol. Part of getting older they tell me.

Anyway, i deleted those tables and everything is still working fine.

X7 chat is a chat software that some hosting providers supply free, mine has it, so you have at some point installed the X7 chat from somewhere. X7 chat crashed about every 20 minutes when i used it 3 years ago, and i have not used it since.

the x7 tables are nothing to do with flashchat, and you can drop them as long as you do not use X7 chat for anything else.
