Title: PC has his own mind
Post by: Herrarge on June 09, 2008, 12:50:14 PM

Hello folks,

I have a little problem with my pc. It appeared today (I don't know what I did to make my pc go crazy). It starts with my MSN. I can't login any more, it deleted my account and it's just fucked up. I reinstalled it but it still don't works. Second thing is my firefox. All favourites has been deleted for an unknown reason. Can I get them back? Maybe from the cookies folder or so? The last thing is kinda weird. I restarted my pc because I hoped it was just a bug and all my san andreas settings and savegames were deleted. I don't know what the problem or the reason for this is but I hope you can help me.

Ty

I did a virus scan but it found nothing (except MTA.exe >.< but I got this from the official website). I don't want to format my HDD

its prolly a virus,malware,spyware or trojans, sometimes your antivirus cannot detect it

try system restore, it works best

Did you try scandisk?-  Make sure your harddisk is still fine. Sounds like a corrupted sector to me.

Get a new HDD, around 40GB is good(this is only needed for Windows and temporal stuff), then get a external HDD with like 500GB(this is where you install Games, Programs etc.). If you don't have enough money for that, google for "partitions", this will work too. The best thing of this is: If you get a virus, you can simply just format the partition/internal HDD, you won't loose any important stuff, because that is on the other partition/external HDD.

After you installed Windows and shit, get a good Anti-Virus program, like Avast! or AVG. Then you should download ZoneAlarm, just to be on the safe side.

After that's done, you should read fully the manual of your router and look carefully on the sites where it shows you how to port forward. After you know that, you should check which port a program uses and only allow those ports, close the others.

If you want to be really safe, get sandibox or virtual machine. If someone sends you a .exe, check it first in sandibox or virtual machine, if it's a trojan it can't do anything to your system.

And if you want to be anonymous on the internet, buy a Socks5 proxy which is located in russia, costs around 50-???euro. Also check that the Socks5 is not logging anything.

Hope this helped everyone here.

I tried Brainkillers tools, I tried system restore and I tried to repair it with TuneUp Ultilities but nothing worked. When I would reinstall my system I would lose documents which are better not to lose. And my USB thingy is only 1 GB big.

It's your choice, people are just trying to help. TuneUp doesn't help with viruses anyway, and it wasn't a suprise that System Restore didn't worked.

I guess you should back-up your files to a DVD and format, though it's your call.

It wasn't Me   lol. This is most likely a trojan or a keylogger / remote admin tool. You could try disconntecting from the net and running a virus scan, maybe in safe modr. If its a remote too, they cant us it if you aren't online, so they can't stop you from scanning

Either that, or Format your HDD

Good Luck
