lightchild_uk Waiting for IT User ID: 33014056 United Kingdom 01/27/2013 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Which version of Windows do you have. I think the easiest way to fix this is to do a system restore. Reboot your computer and press the F8 key, boot into safe mode and choose system restore. Pick a date from a few days ago and that should sort it out. Moving forward. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE AND A WAY OF BACKING UP YOUR DATA. |

stinkbug User ID: 1375508 United States 01/27/2013 06:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Last night when I went online, something I had never seen popped up. It said gadgets and was in a little box on the screen. It disappeared within about 30 seconds. Later while trying to play a game, my screen kept moving down making it impossible for me to play. Within the last week when I open my computer a little screen pops up on the far right bottom of my computer. It's so fast that I have no idea what it is. A few minutes ago my husband's computer made a weird sound that neither of us had ever heard before. His computer was just sitting there. Quoting: Skepticnumberone I am no computer wiz and I would appreciate any input. My computer is fairly new and I don't want to deal with a crash. this to me sounds like you have a trojan. |

Just A Thought User ID: 3497054 United States 01/28/2013 04:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Google "combofix" dowload it from the website beging with www.bleeping... run it, update it if needed. It may look like t's not doing anything but it is. Let it finish, DO NOT close it or reboot your computer while it is running. This is by far the best program I know of for removing maleware, virus, trojans, etc.... The top selling anti-virus programs suck! This program runs circles around them. |
RockHall User ID: 33005678 United States 01/28/2013 04:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is my reply to the (OP) 1)Go to the Run screen and run regedit 2) Click Edit at the top of the screen 3) Choose Find (or use Control F) 4) Enter the term remoteaccess (with no spaces) 5) When you hit Enter, data will appear on the right hand panel 6) What you will be looking for will not be in the first data display, so you be using the F3 key to go to the next search. Only type the F3 key once until the search is finished. 7) This is the tough part... You will be looking for a single line entry that begins with a flag that you will see many times. It has the AB written in red in the flag. Next to the AB flag will be the (Default) with a capital D and in parenthesis. 8) The entry you are looking for will have REG_SZ under the heading Type 9) The entry that you will be looking for will be a single sentence that ends with _RemoteAccess (no space between the two words. For example: " INmComputer_RemoteAcess " There should be an underscore prior to the RemoteAccess (e.g. _RemoteAccess) If you find anything like this, your computer has been invaded the Microsoft's Remote Assistance.

Update. Scan. Fix. Restart. (wash, rinse, repeat til scan's clean) Malwarebytes is a great tool, but if this is a _RemoteAccess intrusion, Malewarebytes by itself won't fix it. You can run the app, but I can assure you it won't get rid or the RAT (Remote Access Trojan). There is a support button with Malwarebytes and you can use it to ask for help. They should respond very quickly. (I'm a Malwarebytes subscriber.) "I think, therefore I am..." René Descartes "I don't think, therefore I am not..."

RockHall User ID: 33005678 United States 01/28/2013 04:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a link to a 2002 page from Microsoft Technet. It tells the WHOLE STORY of what RAT (Remote Access Trojan) can do. What I was so surprised about was that Professional RATs can install a "Broadcast" beacon, so that if an infected computer's IP address, the intruder will pick up signals as to where it is and it's new IP address for a new hookup. I know all about this because I've been attacked by at least 2 different RATS and I'm putting together an ebook about it. "I think, therefore I am..."

Useless Cookie Eater User ID: 29696048 United States 01/28/2013 05:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I didn't mean to imply that I got a virus on GLP. I was joking about someone nosing around on my computer now that I post on GLP and read the threads. Quoting: Skepticnumberone I really appreciate all of your help! Thank you! Thank you! Suggestion.... Since your PC and another PC at your location were SEVERELY compromised, the smartest thing to do would be to backup your data, format the drive an reinstall the O/S. You have no idea what could have been installed on your network. Even your router is now suspect. Seriously, nuke it from orbit....it's the only way to be sure. |
