Solve : Suspicious Rivals, Sent Enormous File for Document, Worried? |
|
Answer» HI, am total beginner here, may be worrying about nothing, but may I ask - Very Suspicious Doc came by email, 25 pages double spaced text PDF, looked normal but then realised was far too big (3.5MB) to be just text text - computer straight afterwards behaved a bit strangely - would like to know, is the 3.5MB for a text only PDF of 25 pages double space (say 13 pages normal) something to worry about? Is there any way I can scan it? I have Kaspersky security but I worry these GUYS may be more advanced than that. Thanks, PhilipHello and welcome to Computer HOPE Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. 1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine. 2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine. 3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask. 4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you. 5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic. 6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe. 7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear. If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage DEVICE. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive BACK to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line. ************************************************************************* Did you try to open the document? If you didn't and you don't know where it came from, I would suggest that you dump it. If your computer is acting strangely, we can run some scans just to make sure it's clean. That document is rather large to just contain text. |
