I'm on my computer watching videos on YouTube and all of a sudden my mouse oped a new tab. When i tried to close it, the mofo went to my banking tab in my favorites column and tried to open my account info. I turned it off and unplugged my router. Did some research and saw a weird cookie with .json at the end of it. This was installed the same day i downloaded a 30 trial for NOD32. Now I'm doing a cleansing of my hard drive to get rid of all that shit.

What's a good anti keylogger and malware program?

Help a brother out.

1. Did you have any security installed?

I would love to see this happen live.

download hitman pro and do the 30 day trial and post results of the scan.

strongly advise you make a free account and follow directions here


This is serious business and don't do anything financial on your PC until 100 percent clean
 
I like Malwarebytes and Zone Alarm.

I run both on all my computers.



Zonealarm! I haven't heard about them since my Windows XP days. Brings back memories.

Malwarebytes is good too. I didn't recommend it since I thought that they started charging for it, but it looks like it's still free.

Yes, I downloaded NOD32 30 day free trial to try before I buy. The undeletable cookie was downloaded the same day. I tried to delete the NOD and it wouldn't let me. These hackers are good. I'm just gonna buy my shit from Best Buy next time.
 
Antivirus / Antimalware software should be always be on your system. Not just when things happen. Sounds like you picked up some sort of remote access trojan (RAT).


Good luck.

Malwarebytes aint free...

I actually pay for like 5 licesnces. Peace of mind
 
What browser(s) are you running? Having NoScript and Ublock Origin browser extensions will help to alleviate driveby downloads from the browser. Also install WCF (Windows Control Firewall). You will be able to manage all traffic, especially outbound, so you can see what is trying to connect to an external entity. Avast is a good free AV to use..

1st of all, the majority of users run their systems from an administrative account. Best practices are for you to create an standard user non administrative account that is restricted from making system level changes.. and use that account for general everyday use..
 
if your shit was compromised to the point where somebody was controlling your mouse, I wouldn't even bother with software. Just back up your shit and reinstall Windows. Whatever is on there now got past your security software on your machine, the firewall on your OS AND most likely any firewall rules you set up on your router. At that point you got some slick shit or you did something unintentionally that put your machine at risk.

Your shit is compromised and I wouldn't trust antivirus/antimalware software to fix it

You need to boot into safe mode, it's a few guys on here that can RD into your PC and check for you.

Start with downloading process explorer and figuring out the running programs, then start with NETSTAT and do a full command for all open connections, I wouldn't even do anything until your certain Anti viruses aren't 100%

probably best to backup and restore and run something for full wipe, at least 7 times try duke nukem or something similar, I can look at it remotely if you trust me PM me.

don't put no key logger on your shit LOL

you'll be giving hackers the keys ...
 
To everyone on here:
The absolute BEST way to save your computer from things like this is to save a malware program along with an antiviral program on a PORTABLE DRIVE. If this ever happens boot in safe mode change the boot drive order to hit the portable drive first and run a scan off portable drive after connecting it. After it's done put everything back

You're welcome
 
You should have Multi-factor Authentication enabled on all your banking and financial accounts so that they will need your phone to log into yoru shit. Or have google auth where possible.
This right here.. ^^^

Not only your financial accounts, but ANY online accounts you own that contain your or your family's PII, PFI, or PHI.. And don't be lazy and set your browser to store the assertion for a period of time either (30 days, 60 days, etc..). Because that MoFo on the other end that is trying to get up in your shit isn't going to be lazy about it...Most of that shit is automated. So think of it as, unless you can out last a Terminator, protect your information properly.

keyloggers are hard to find even for norton, kaspersky and Nod32, also some keyloggers are actually legit programs like remotePC which is scanned as safe

OP is really better off formatting and reinstalling every and do a deep wipe, it's gonna take a cybersecurity professional to really dig deep into the PC to fix

bleeping computer is the place to really post this, that's what they do over there to be exact.

But most of us don't have the attention span for that level of work in a sense.

That can be fooled too lol, especially SMS texting to phone...

not fullproof. this stuff runs deep, very deep.

these programs literally move completely silent.
 
not sure what y'all be doing your machine

i ain't ran a antivirus on my computer in years

other than the one built into windows
Running windows (Security) aka Defender is pretty good protection in general out the box. Trust me..You turn that shit off and start hopping around the internet long enough, you will figure it out one way or another.

This. I work in IT and I would wipe it. The first thing a hacker does is install a backdoor account.

Defender is terrible look up pc security channel on YouTube. Defender often locks up and can't remove malwars and still can't control Ranson ware.

Wipe it and install Norton with VPN.

And stop downloading porn.

THIS is exactly what I did. I just started from scratch and changed my passwords of everything I had on my computer. BUT them mofos were still able to get into my account and transfer 700 bucks somewhere. My credit union is working to try and figure that shit out. Will I get my money back? Will find out tomorrow. I got to prove that I didn't move the shit myself.
