Trojan & a hacker
« on: September 13, 2010, 01:11:30 AM »
for nearly a week I've been fighting a hacker, who first planted a trojan which first took out my firewall and virus program, then erased all my pictures and video's, off my hard drive. Fortunately I have them all on a removable disk as well as the packets and trace files from the first attack. When all my defenses and tracking was down he specifically went after my Aces High II files...? I reloaded it, he erased it, 4-5 times...? somebody P.O.'ed about something in my videos and related to the game? Hmmmm? Interesting. Poor guy so wrapped up in a video game that he'd hack my PC... :cry Somebody need to get a life....oh I already said that.  :rofl  :neener: Up & running.....

I would assume it has more to do with the folder placement than anything else. 

If you're being serious, you should probably have somebody look at what it is "really" doing.  Malicious code, as well as the people that create it, are more likely to lead you down the wrong road.

Once infected give up doing anything else until you have in cleaned out.

In some situations that may mean doing a full reformat, reinstall of the OS, Drivers, and software.
And please physically remove that computer from the internet until it is clean.
No point in taking a chance of spreading the infection.

+1   Just reformat to be safe, virus programs are never 100% safe and just move the file to a quarantine folder, it's still on your HD so who really knows what it could do

Doubtful anyone is hacking an individual. You probably downloaded a file that was bogus and when you installed it also installed a program that removes files.


The setup may look for programs used most often or the last running program. It could also be time based and only active during certain times and dates.

If anyone wanted access to your machine, it would be to use it as a soldier in an attack such as a DOS.

YUP! Thought I had it stopped several times, then said screw it! Format Hard Drive & Rebuild. I then searched my portable hard drive and quarantined it there. That's how it was hiding and getting back in my hard drive every time I save anything. We're good now.  :headscratch:

Did all this AND reported the source of the IP trace to the server & the HP hub that it went through on one of it's bounces.

Depending on the virus, if its a good one and its penetrated your system, its best to just back up what you don't have backed up and reformat.  The amount of time you spend running multiple scans + verifying its gone + lost hair, reformats are usually more time saving.
