Beware!!! - Branded Hackers - screenshot sent via Google mail servers

This doesn't mean that Google has put this on your PC at all

Read the message from your firewall again

It says the file is attempting to establish a connection to Gmail

This means that if this is a trojan, then it is trying to access Gmail either to send a message (maybe screen shots of your PC ) form your own e-mail or to spam using your Gmail account

In either cases, using firewall is always good so you can always monitor the strange activity on your PC

I do recommend the following softwares

1- Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 (antivirus + firewall) much better than norton and mcafee

2- Ad-Aware Pro

Security while surfing the internet is a serious issue that you should consider with care

 

Bingo! Finally, I opened that file with the Resource Hacker and found that it is Ardamax Keylogger. It’s a clever coding and it is remotely operated. I was not able to find an e-mail address in it. Some how it was sending e-mail via google server. I installed Spybot and found many files few where 12Mb size. These files were my keyboard activities and Web site visited detail. I am damm sure that Hacker has already got my info. I checked my online banking and noticed that transaction detail is missing... there was not much in the banking. But, still must go to bank and check it tomorrow. However, I have changed my Adsense, Adwords and banking password. But still not feeling secure, planning to format the PC.

 

You are right! its not Google. Thanks for the info.

 

How can anyone work online and not beable to notice a keylogger when you see it is beyond me

 

That why it is called KeyLogger it is all done beyond.

 

lol come on guys, if yall had Mac's none of this would even affect you what so ever

 

what was more surprising to me is that some people don't use any spyware programs
