My computer has been hacked.


Recommended Posts

Okay, I don't know exactly what happened anymore. But there is one thing for sure, Someone gained remote access to my computer, I was just browsing on facebook, Typing a few buddies then BAM! A command prompt window opens then a lot of programs begin to install. It said something like RMACCESS or something like that. And it said something about big file sizes transfering and bull. I don't know what the heck is going on. And i need someone's help. What should i do!?

 

I'm typing this from another computer.


UPDATE: It's having a BSOD wepage. a fake one. Something is very wrong here.. :'(. Someone help!

1: Don't type out a forum post like the one you previously had all in CAPS and bypassing the swear filter.

 

2: Disconnect the PC from the internet totally, then download Malwarebytes onto a USB thumb drive and go install it on tha tsystem, and probably run Windows Defender or whatever is already on it, for starters.

yeah I would nuke it from orbit at this point.

 

with how bad it sounds there's no telling if there's not several back doors hidden on that computer now

 

grab any personal documents/pics ect from the computer with a linux live cd then format that computer and reinstall. it's really the only truly safe way with that bad of an infection

what happens when you look in task manager? anything interestingly new show up in the processes tab?

 

have you tried disconnecting from the internet and running a virus and malware scan?

Just do it already. After backing up your personal files, that is. It's easier than trying to repair your messed up installation.

UPDATE: I looked on google images and found a BSOD webpage image that looks JUST LIKE the one i encountered. Has anyone seen this before?post-508405-0-17896800-1432573011.png

It's too late for backing up. I pretty much lost everything at this point. Windows won't get past the boot animation. It sticks there.

I knew it was fake from the beginning. It just wouldn't go away. I tried everything i could.

You can do this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

 

Use Ubuntu or some other Linux distro to browse for files from the Windows partition and back it up to some external drive.

 

 

As for the BSOD screen, that's clearly fake. The phone number is not Microsoft, probably someone trying to scam you.

So the verdict pretty much is that i have to wipe the hard drive. But i'm not sure if it will even boot to the media, either.

 

whoa slow down.. why would you need to do that? are you sure your files are ruined? what virus scanner do you have?

you should still be able to boot media. the infection can't effect booting from other media

As the others said. Slow down! You'll be OK, but just don't make any silly decisions.

 

1. Make a linux live USB/DVD on another computer.

2. Boot using the infected computer into the linux USB/DVD WITHOUT booting into Windows (the virus can't affect the live USB/dvd). Don't install it! You should be able to see your Windows partition and files using the file manager. Remember t

3. Copy/upload your most important files to a safe place.

4. Once that's done, wipe your whole hard drive and start over from scratch.

I don't understand why he even needs to wipe the HDD, can't he just run a Virus scanner & Malware scanner.. this seems like a very miniature virus.. a simple scan & quarantine should be able to resolve this.. I don't think a format is necessary, where did he/she state that the infection had gone so far to the point that the computer is unusable?

Judging by what happened sounds to me like he got hit by some sort of vulnerability, maybe through malvertizing.. For future reference make sure you keep your Java (f you have it) and Flash and Adobe Reader current on your system. Also install all the Windows update.

 

This is a prime example why sandboxie is amazing.

 

Once you reinstall Windows using your disc it's going to be seriously missing updates. Hopefully that CD contains Service pack 1.

 

After you reinstall Windows do not go surfing the internet until ALLLLLLLL of your Windows updates are done.

this is the exact same way scareware works, it launches a fullscreen ie screen with a fake message with scrollbars and script and menus disabled.

 

you need to reboot in safemode to access your msconfig and remove the malware from starting with the pc

 

you then need to find the file and remove it, checking the fake processes location will tell you that.

 

these malware/scareware instances don't go about destroying your data, if a hacker wanted to hack you he wouldn't go to such details to warn you of it.
