Solve : Can a keylogger log your clipboard?? |
|
Answer» I've recently become paranoid after I fell victim to a keylogger last week having a very important password stolen and decided to manually copy and paste my passwords from a notepad document from then on. Might be important to note that since that time I had NEVER typed the password, EVEN to initially create it. Thought I was safe and was surprised to have the same password stolen again. I have run hijackthis, avg, trojan remover, trendmicro online scan, adaware, and win security task manager(actually a safe program believe it or not) and my system turned up clean. I even ran them all in safe mode to be sure. I have a router and use the xp FIREWALL as well. I just don't get it. The only possible way that that password could have been stolen again is if the keylogger is somehow recording my clipboard, which I have began deleting after I paste the password. Is this possible? Is there any way to prevent it happening in the future?can you post the hijackthis log for us to look at?Quote from: endezeichen on August 23, 2007, 12:41:58 AM The only possible way that that password could have been stolen again is if the keylogger is somehow recording my clipboard, which I have began deleting after I paste the password. Is this possible?Yes Quote from: endezeichen on August 23, 2007, 12:41:58 AM Is there any way to prevent it happening in the future?Get rid of the keylogger. As unlovedwarrior said a hijackthis log would be good place to start. Sorry, I didn't post my hijackthis log because I didn't think it would be necessary. I've done extensive cleaning with many programs as well as manually. This really is one heck of a trojan.

One thing you can try... Download ComboFix and save it to your desktop. Run the program and read its disclaimer (it's fairly short) and make sure you really pay attention to what it says. Follow the prompts and when finished, it will produce a log at C:\ComboFix.txt. GO ahead and post that here. Note: Don't click on the window while it's running; this may cause stalls. You could also try running a full-system scan with SUPERAntiSpyware in Safe Mode. I'm not sure how much this will help, though. When it comes to this sort of breach of security, I think it's best to back up all important personal files (not programs; download them again later) and then reformat. Keyloggers can be pretty sneaky and even when you remove one, it's sometimes hard to trust that your computer truly is clean again.Well I must say, combofix is a pretty interesting and useful program. Never even heard of it so thanks for that. Got a bit weary when zonealarm told me it was launching cmd.exe...that was a high risk alert. Did a little reading up and apparently combofix was infected a few months ago. I just assumed that was a clean version and the cmd.exe part was just part of the process. Oh yeah- Wwwwinnnantispyware... the most annoying piece of crap I've ever had on my computer. Apparently I didn't get rid of it as I thought I did.

I don't know of one, the log usually comes up as Ctrl C and Ctrl P with no further detail. Could you be getting directed to a malicious website and pasting your password there? This is a common problem when clicking on links that COME in emails, very common with banking sites but they play it down because they don't want to admit they're being ripped off. I have personally reported 2 such misdirections to 2 different banks and neither of them even acknowledged my email. They're running scared. |
