SamanthaJones Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 TIP: When removing viruses/spyware, make sure that system restore is turned off, disable all your start up items, delete all cookies and cache and that you're doing the removal in safe mode with networking. use a trusted virus/Spy ware removal tool Quote Link to comment

kanski Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 i'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but, here goes... my pc has been the target of an increased number of 'intrusion attempts' as reported by norton. my question is, what have i probably done to have induced this increase? and what could i do to keep my pc even more secure other than having norton up and running.

twentyoneinch Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 i'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but, here goes... my pc has been the target of an increased number of 'intrusion attempts' as reported by norton. my question is, what have i probably done to have induced this increase? and what could i do to keep my pc even more secure other than having norton up and running. Intrusion attempts are like the daily dose of gamma rays as Norton Antivirus is like watching a show about the Sun in the Discovery Channel. It's been there all along, it's only now that you are made aware of it. It has nothing to do with you being you but by the fact that you are using a networked computer. You can only be safe if you unplug your computer from the network. Unplugging is not an option for many as do I. But, I have a few tricks of my own to give that terrorist hacker a hard time. 1. Create at least two user accounts on your Windows machines. One is an administrator type account and one is user-only type account. Do all your administrative work using the administrative account, for example, installation of third-party software, registration of apps, Windows configuration changes, other activities affecting Windows runtime DLL components. etc. Do all your no-brainer stuff like word processing, surfing the internet, checking your facebook account, downloading torrents, etc, using you user-only type account. This strategy will stop a significant amount of malware from changing any of your applications. The most a hacker can do is just take a peak at your data; but, they will be never be able to install or alter any part of your Windows operating software. Norton don't tell you this because they want you to buy their product. Most novice users only have one account and it is administrator type (and they surf the net using this account... lol). That's the reason hackers thrive, there are many security-"dumb" users. 2. Install free antivirus software such as Windows Defender and clamwin (of course use your administrator account). Also regularly update your Windows software using Windows Update. You will get the latest and greatest security fixes from Microsoft itself. 3. Enable your firewall from the router/modem. Install firewall software on your PC if you have the money. 4. One advice most people will never heed is: Throw away your PC and buy a Mac. Quote Link to comment
twentyoneinch Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 One more thing, you can enjoy your porn sites after you've done the things I mentioned above. Quote Link to comment

Googled your issue and here's what I found out: Souce: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Virus_and_Spyware/Anti-Virus/Desktop_Anti-Virus/Q_25007321.html Run Flash Disinfector-Quote from this link:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t229158.htmlDownload and Run FlashDisinfector You may have a flash drive infection. These worms travel through your portable drives. If they have been connected to other machines, they may now be infected. * Please download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop. * Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear. Note: Some security programs will flag Flash_Disinfector as being some sort of malware, you can safely ignore these warnings * The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well. * Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program. * Reboot your computer when done. Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don't delete this folder. It will help protect your drives from future infection. After that scan the possible infected machine and that usb device with your anti-virus software and with Malwarebyteshttp://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php Quote Link to comment
