Answer» I've been finding some really sick crap on my computer. No one has access to my system, so I'm confused. This is extrememly sick stuff, probably illegal, pictures etc. But I want to know how in the world someone or some program can do this. I keep my firewall (zonealarm) update, as well as everything else. Spybot, Spyware Blaster, Norton Antivirus... How to stop is my concern now. I also want to know who, if intentional, so I can beat the crap out of him/them. I've never heard anything like this before. I'm totally lost here. Exactly what kind of content do you see? What names is it using and can you relate it to COMPANIES that produce spyware or other such products? What security are you using? What do your security logs tell you? Have you disabled remote access and file sharing?I deleted the files and logs a little while ago when clearing out the history. So maybe in a few hours or tomorrow I'll look at that stuff. I found some quarantined files and such. Using Norton System WORKS '02, spybot, spyware blaster. Forgot about file sharing and remote access. Will address that now. At this point I'm more interested on just giving up the Internet. This is just not worth it. Okay, for content: some real sick stuff. Sick. Just disgusting. Pictures, movies, and nasty games. Godsake probably some illegal stuff. And why!?!? What in the world? I now use the option to "stop all internet activity" when I'm not surfing at a given moment. You know what, come to wonder, maybe I don't really have ZoneAlarm? I'm going to uninstall and install from a published disc I have, older but at least that's a possibility. Quote Okay, for content: some real sick stuff. Sick. Just disgusting. Pictures, movies, and nasty games. Godsake probably some illegal stuff. And why!Huh What in the world? I now use the option to "stop all internet activity" when I'm not surfing at a given moment. I need to know the names of the content that you see. I do not know what you regard as 'sick'. Are there any names or brands? What are these games? Can they tell you the location they were obtained from? Quote I found some quarantined files and such. Using Norton System Works '02, spybot, spyware blaster. You should install more and better security software. Norton seems heavily outdated and Spybot lets a lot of spyware through. I have heard of Spyware blaster, but it has never gained my thumbs up.I don't understand what you mean by "names." They're media. Mostly pornographic. Some shockwave flash games, other executables which I never open for obvious reasons. I'll check out the programs you listed above tomorrow. Gotta get some sleep now. The NEXT time I find these files, usually in a temp folder, I'll list them if you want. And thank you so much for your assistance.I get the feeling that you are trying to hide something by giving indirect answers to my questions. I can not help you unless you are going to be honest and do exactly as we suggest.I'm not being indirect at all. If you don't want to help me just say so.magicshamrock...... Perhaps you should change your Nick to 4leafedclover .......it may be luckier for you ..... You must have a trojan or some other nasty in your system thats leaving a door open for that stuff to be coming in ......so it must be found and removed ..... so for openers .... Could you list exactly which security apps you are using ..... If you could list them and give us the version and if they are up to date as far as current updates and subscriptions . Which operating system are you using ? Please let us know. dl65 Actually right now I feel pretty stupid. When I run SystemWorks it includes a virus scan, but not a full scan. I think it just checks to see if it's the current version. So I've not yet run a full scan at all yet. I have to run that separately. I didn't see that. Win98SE, Norton SystemWorks 2002, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, ZoneAlarm are all. Current within a week. I'm looking into the list that Raptor gave earlier. For now, I'll run the full scan. |
