I'm at a loss
« on: January 24, 2010, 11:16:06 PM »
I just had to have a virus removed from my computer not long ago that was emailing everyone in my address book. Now I am receiving mailer-daemon messages in regards to emails being sent to people using yahoo korea address books (yahoo.co.kr).

The messages say that the originating IP address is 222.231.2.30. Is there anyway I check my computers to see if there is still a problem on one of my computers using this information?

Is it possible that this is just remenants of the problems caused by the virus and it is just taking this long to get these back? It has been about 2 weeks since I took the problem computer to the shop.

This whole thing is causing me so many trouble right now. I think it may have messed with my paypal account, that I haven't used in over 6 months. Right now I am going to be changing all my passwords as a "quick" fix but what I really need to try and figure out is if I still have an infected computer or not so that I can get it fixed.

If there is any doubt, suspicion, gut feeling or what have you...format and reload. Do not do anything with your online accounts on that system, you might have a keystroke logger hiding in a process on the thing...that is usually the way people get their online accounts hacked.

I have to agree with Gyrene, if the software caused this much of a ruckus, stop wasting time trying to remove it and simply kill it! Back up what you need then use a Windows Installer disk to erase the entire hard-drive and reinstall Windows.
