I'd like to submit the file, except that I ran Crap Cleaner even before I
knew it was on the system. Crap Cleaner deleted it.
I'm going to run the above rootkit program as well as Sysinternals and a
few others.
Do you think it's time for Multi A-V? Is is safe to run these online
scanners rather than downloaded the signatures like Multi-AV does?
Don't the online scanners record every filename on your computer?
Secondly, isn't there stuff they can't find because of one's firewall?
I have McAfee's SiteAdvisor as a BHO, use IE-Spyad and have a HOSTS file,
plus use Avast and a firewall. Still, it's amazing how these things
infiltrate a computer. I was reading on one of the security sites that
Spyware problems are soaring.
I wonder if it pays to change the name of your computer, sign on name,
password, and release and renew IP addresses on a regular basis.
Someone better inform the media soon how serious a problem this is
becoming. Any guesses as to how many home computers are seriously
infected around the world?
(Please excuse my crossposting, but I'm incensed at my violation of
privacy with this spyware/malware/trojan problem and I feel that the more
individuals who read about this particular keylogger, if that's what it
is, the better.)
