REDSTAR 105 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Gotta love hackers, last night at 4 am i was watching a movie and web pages came up saying im watching you, i can see you, and stopwatchingmoviesfaggot.com, okay, weird, then my computer shutdown, i went to sleep, I go on facebook the next morning and find out someone in Canada was using my facebook, oshit, nothing changed, thank god, and then i get on xbox and see that i have no friends, and my bio is changed and crap to my address, my youtube account, and my name and crap, okay, this hacker knows a lot about me now, so im going to chnage all my passwords and format my hdd. k? k. idk if that will all help...... :\ so yeah, what else should i do except move.EDIT: oh and if it helps, i downloaded a file, it had the extension .scr, i had opened it and nothing happened, windows thought it as a screensaver, i checked it in virus total to be safe, it was fine, im pretty sure this virus was a 'ghost' virus, and dropped a keylogger and some tool that can obtain emote access to a computer. im not entirely sure.

Dan Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Sounds like you got a RAT my friend. Reformat should work fine, but you'll have to wipe everything... Meaning you'll loose everything on your current PC. Saying that because someone I know has infected people with RAT's etc, and it infects every single file on the computer.

REDSTAR 105 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Posted July 18, 2010 Okay good, that was what i was planning on doing today, but if your computer is turned off then there is nothing the hacker can do right? ex. Find anymore info about me stored on that computer.
Dan Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 Well when me and my mate was doing it, we couldn't do anything until the PC was on... So you should be fine
REDSTAR 105 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Posted July 18, 2010 only problem is the guy already knows a lot about me, I WANNA FIND OUT SH** ABOUT HIM, loltacular, the only thing i know is that he lives in canada.
Slidell Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae329/SlidellofOlde/Capture-3.jpg Before you reformat have you tried system restore? I assume you have but if you haven't do that, you might not have to reformat. Edited July 18, 2010 by Slidell
Quinn Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 linux ftw No seriously though, time for a sex change/country change/name change.

You can make backup-s of everything, just not of anything executable! (you can't keep your .exe's and the likes, unless you want to risk getting re-infected (which is incredibly likely)) So you can make a back-up of all your text files and pictures and such when you format your HDD.
lostmodz26 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 Open up task manager and look for duplicates of important processes. Viruses like these try to disguise themselves as something important.
