Just thought I'd post this to show you the maliciousness of some sites. I think I have it all sorted now, but I was worried all day yesterday.
I downloaded some .rar files from Rapidshare, and when it came to unzipping them, they were password protected. So I popped the file name plus the word password into google. I found a site (I'm still on google page) that showed the password 'TeamVeder', but as the word 'TeamVeder' was at the end of the google description, I wondered if there was anything after this word as part of the password, so I tried to enter the site.
The chrome browser notified me that it may be a err, bad site, do I wanna navigate away from it... I clicked no! twice !!
The next thing my hard drive is whirring away like mad, so I closes the website, with the X.
It says, and I forget the exact words coz I'm panicking, Java script hasnt finished, are you sure I wanna cancel..
I say yes to this..
Immediately a pop up comes to say windows firewall has been turned off, click the balloon to rectify this.
so I do..
Things seem normal now still so I use the password to unzip the flies. Now I don't think there is anything wrong with these files, still dont.
Next day I get up, turn the puter on, and I noticed I have a closed umbrella symbol (I am using Avira Anti virus, with an umbrella symbol). My AntiVirus had been disabled!
So I restarts the AntiVirus, Firewall is off again too.
I browse explorer and when I click D and E drive it says 'The Disk in Drive E is not Formatted. Do You Want To Format it Now?'
Obviously not, seeing as I store stuff I want to keep in them drives.
I do a scan using Avira, and it finds the first trojan, TR/Dldr.Java.OpenConnection.AT .
Just as I am searching google for that virus, the puter re-boots itself.
When booting, I click 'boot normal' and the puter goes half way thru the boot, then reboots before it finishes. It did this a couple of times. So I boots up in safe mode.
Now in explorer I can see the D drive, but not the E drive, same 'Format now?' message comes up.
I do a rescan while in safe mode and Avira picked up 3 trojans (this scan took 7 hours!)
TR/Dldr.Java.OpenConnection.AT in My Documents.
TR/Virtl.22445 in My Documents.
TR/Vilsel.BLK1 in C:\\windows\system32\xa.tmp
tried to reboot in normal, the same cycle of re-booting, would not load.
Back in Safe Mode. Scanned with Malwarebytes (gmb told me about this one
) It picked up 2 registry entries
Malware.trace
& Trojan.Agent
Removed these and rebooted normally. Both D and E drives visible again.
Let this be a warning to you, its not just ~~~~ screws your system!
Oh... its a long thread, shoulda done it in instalments like Eastenders.
