I have been hacked!!!!

I want to share what has happen. I have been ordering several programs from different venders here. Yesterday, google would not let me in! They said I was spamming from my IP! (I was not- have not started using any programs yet)

I went to the google page, followed their instructions and discovered that I had been hacked by two people! I also had a fresh trojan horse. For what ever reason, my virus protection did not catch them. Now I have added a malware program, Spybot, that has shut them down. Google has now let me back in.

What can I say? Should I be concerned that someone has hacked me?

 

get ur antivirus updates as soon as possible or use Kaspersky anitvirus , its the best

 

Depends on what skills you have - you can find their ( hackers ) IP's by hexing infected file and take them down to a vacation ( it's called a prison )
As evolva said, use Kaspersky - it's the one and only AV which protects you from executing files into memory ( which is not supported by others ).

 

I will change my virus protection to kaspersky today!!!! Should I be concerned that they were in my computer? Spybot did take them out...but could they have done anything else while they were active? Should I change all my passwords? Thank you so much for replying. I am a little nervous...

 

i think its better to change to kaspersky 2009,its the greatest so far,it has helped me a lot with my pc security also try changing your passwords too...

 

I have just ordered the kaspersky for internet. Waiting for the email with the link. Found it discounted for $29. Thank you.

 

Possible trojan/malware activity.

Now that you have ordered KIS...scan your machine and relax.

 

You could use Kaspersky Anti-haker !!!

 

Kaspersky Anti-Haker, what is that? Isn't KIS 2009 enough.

 

I vote for Karspensky too. It is the best antivirus.

 

So glad to hear everyone likes karspensky. I bought the internet version which is one step up from the virus protection. I am hoping it works on hackers. I have never been hacked before...

By the way, I found it online for $29. Marked down from $79. It was in the top of the searches!

So, back to my original question. Do I need to be concerned as to what they may have gotten into on my computer? Which, by the way (my computer) is still not working right. I am waiting for the download link for the Karspensky to come...

 

Re-install OS, install Kasprsky, don't worry about it anymore ..

 

Install osx or linux

 

+1 on completely flushing the system (take only what you need - documents) and format c: /f
after you have bad stuff on your PC there is no way you can be sure it's all out (google for rootkit if you are curious)

and after that have a decent antivirus installed and up-to-day. spybot is a joke it doesn't help against anything serious. i would recomment kaspersky or avast! (latter is free for home use)

 

Kaspersky is the best for me too..

 

Wow. Did you say re-install the Operating system. Eeeeeccck! That is a big step for this country girl. LOL. Have never done that before. Maybe I should take my PC down to a real computer shop and have them check it out....

Thanks for the advice!

 

Hmmm. But won't a good virus protection do the same? Do I really need to go to those lengths. This is sounding very big...

Thank you for your thoughts. I am getting dizzy again....LOL

 

OK, Kleo. Sounds like I need to take my PC to the shop. I was using avast by the way...but not the pro version. I downloaded the spybot when google told me to. It did remove the hackers and trojan...

 

Chris. Now I am feeling sorry for myself. Where is a smilie with tears? I got them from sellers on this site is the bad news....

 

Got it... thanks.
